You can't be suggesting that this is the best way to do it on a

have a good compass?

I don't want ATC to be giving me headings to vector me to the ILS at all.

Why not?

Its much easier to fly an ILS with one intercept heading. If the
controller has to keep updating your heading because you don't have a
good compass, he's not going to be first in line to buy you drinks
when you get on the ground. Its just seems like needlessly rubbing
sand paper on controllers.
