     BTW, I found a very significant difference with the stock sealed 
     beams, especially on high beam, when the relays went in.

About two months in winter and four in summer.  I buy them in packs of ten 
because I'm the wholesaler's only customer.

The harness is beneficial, IMO, even with _stock_ bulbs.  That switch is a 
pretty poor piece of engineering, and even stock bulbs are better with another
