Did it to Brendan's once upon a time for some reason - we just put the
relay right behind the switch, since everything you need is there
already.  Used the one remaining working connector terminal/switch
contact to trigger the relay, and the main battery wire coming in as a
source (it still needs to be connected to the swithc, I think? to run
the light bulb?  not sure).  That got the switch out of the high current
loop and everything still works.  His headlights were alreayd relayed,
of course.

It's hard to find many 4 x 108 wheels, but there are those 6 spoke
things everyone uses (don't remember the name...) try a little perusal
of the tire rack website, it works well.  You should be able to find a
few $100 wheels.  (tirerack.com)
