1 & 2 are the switching terminals.
3 & 5 are connected/switched when the relay is activated.
No reason same power source can't be used to supply 1 & 3 as long as it is up to supplying sufficient current for the headlamps. Use a constant live source if you want the headlights available all the time. Ignition live source if you want the headlights only when ignition is on.
2 goes off to be earthed by the column switch to activate the relay.
5 goes off to the headlights to power them.
I assume you are using the later column stalks.
