Relay for Front Lights to disable bulb warning

[ben swann]

Thanks Bernie,

It took about 5 min. for me to verify what you said about the diagrams,
go to garage and get needlenose, pull relay and bend pin K over, re-
insert and test then reply back.  For those who have been pondering
this - Just do it!
