What relays to use for Head light relays

[Todd Phenneger]

There IS a wire at Home Depot that works great.  Its not the
individually packaged wire you get though.  Its on the big
spools in the home wiring dept.  ITs for in Wall wiring but its
NOT solid core.  Instead it resembles Monster Cable XP car audio
wire.  YOu can get 2 or 3 pole.  14ga or 12ga.  In all cases you
get 2-3 wires that are wrapped with a fiber insulation and then
covered in a thick black sheath.  Makes for a very OEM lookign
harness, and the wires are thin strand copper and flexible. I
get mine at a local hardware store But I've seen it at Home
Depot.  Its around $1.00 foot though.  
  Alternatively, West Marine has some nice wire as well, and has
some that is similar to the stuff I use but doesnt' have the
fiber insulation inside and isn't perfectly round on the outside
diameter.  
  I'd post some pics but I dont have a website anymore.  Anyone
know of a good place to put a website up for free/cheap?
