That's what I did, splicing the rear tail light wire with a wire to excite the relay. And then as above, the main wire for grips direct from battery +ve via fuse you get with grips, through the relay. Even though they are supposed to have some 'smart' electronics now to switch off grips if voltage falls below certain level, the Oxford grips can still flatten your battery if left on!
