Jason,
What you're referring to is called a tap. They will work ok, but you don't
want to tap into the headhight circuit. Unless you drive around all day
with your headlights on, your fan won't do you much good. Get the picture?
You'll need to locate a continuous hot circuit once the ingition is on.
When I wired in my electric fan, I installed another circuit in the primary
fuse box and wired it off the buss. Worked like a charm.

Subject: DML: BM 150 Electric Fan wiring ?
I got my Black Magic fan mounted today. I didn't get it wired
up, though. For those that have done the install, what "low amp
12 volt positive source" did you hook up the "+" terminal? Can
I just hook it up through a fuse (like for the headlights)?
I've never seen one, but I believe someone (on this list?)
mentioned that they sell a little deal that allows you to tap
off a fuse for auxiliary wire. Any auto parts store have these?
Just wondering before I try to finish the install up tomorrow. Thanks!
