First attempt at wiring the right way with 5 prong switches and a relay. I'm just trying to confirm that this is the right way to do it....

If terminals 6&7 are the coil on the left relay, you don't want to ground terminal 8. I don't know what the left relay is, schematic wise. Other than that it will turn on lights when dash light come on. What is the application?

Ok, that makes a difference. All switches complete grounds into the computer, witch it uses relays to switch loads. I would feed the right relay coil signal from the actual light. 12v, not the switch.take a meter and find a feed that supplies 12v when dash lights illuminate

Do you think you could draw that up for me? So I can get a better picture of what you're talking about?
