What relays to use for Head light relays

[Todd Phenneger]

In my experience it costs me almost $50 to built a custom
harness.  Now I use all 12ga wire thats wrapped and insulated 
And I use 4 relays for a 4-headlamp system.  Each low has its
own relay.  And then each set of highs H4 and H1 are on their
own relay.  That way if a low beam relay goes south I still have
one low beam to run on to get to an exit.  
  Anyhow, point is, for the price they charge, and for the
quality they APPEAR to be, its a great deal.
