I had originally done the 4 relays in hopes that I would have no autocheck
problem. Maybe there are some low draw/high impedance relays that will work
fine, but the standard lighting relays although balance, still made the
autocheck come on.

Well currently i have a 4 relay setup but it was hastly done and the winter
disintegrated some of the contacts so currently i have no high beams, thats
why im redoing everything. I havent had a problem with autocheck at all as
far as the lights go.

Rob,
I used 4 to balance things out. I don't see why you couldn't get away with
2 though - 1 for Highs and one for lows. You are still going to have to
disable the fault indicator. I did this by bending over the tab on the
relay.
On the setup I did, I used a relay panel from a 4000 parts car, and a fuse
assembly. I had one hot feed off the battery terminal, feeeding a 30 Amp
fuse to four 10 Amp fuses for the output of each of the four separate
relays. All were mounted on the panel, which i located under hood just over
the passenger side light. In retrospect, this setup may have been massive
overkill, and took far longer to accomplsh than it should have, as does
everything else I get into.
I have a picture taken somewhere, but haven't located it in the mass of
shots I've taken but not digitized yet.

[Going to be redoing my eurolight harness and was wondering...
Do i need to have 4 relays... 2 each side for hi/low? or would one high
relay and one low relay be able to handle the current load?
would make things significantly easier to set up.
Thanks
Rob
