Hmm, I'm not sure that will work, the relay is probably calibrated for the draw of one bulb. If you put 2 in parallel that is double the current. Not sure what the relay thinks of that.

If it accepts double the current and still gives a good indication then you would have to lose both bulbs to get a fault. But I'm worried you might smoke the sensor in the relay with double load.

I'm pretty sure every bulb on the outside gets its own channel in the bulb monitor.
