4kq parking and headlight relaying?

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

Umm... Why do you want to relay your parking lights? Relays are normally used when power draw of a device is too high for the stock wiring, the stock parking light wiring is fine for parking lights...

Hi all,

Car is 86 4kq.

Is it worth relaying the parking lights? I know it is for the headlights!

Where is the best place to splice into the wiring to install the relays?
FFor the parking lights too?

I'm assuming (never having done this before) that the relay essentially
"replaces" the headlights on the original circuit, now with just signal
current. On the other side of the relay is where the serious juice is used
to power the lights right off the battery. Correct?

Cheers,
