headlight relay options?

[mr_manny]

I'm running H4's, and would like to install some relays to reduce amount of voltage going through my headlight switch.
Where do you guys splice into for the relays?

Just looking for some suggestions on relay installation options...thanks,

partsexpress.com - $1.50 Bosch relays that are 30 amp, and $1.50 harnesses. Even with shipping you can't touch that price. if you are doing any kind of wiring or plan to ever use a few order a ton! I run these in mine and these are probably the best relays on the market besides their price

yeah, deffinitely go with BOSCH. The cheapo radio shack ones burned out or stuck on me within months of using them. They also dont seem to be as weatherproof as the BOSCH ones. Also, you can use a headlight plug to plug the relay into, instead of just using 3 or 4 seperate male flat terminals.

My 72 has a harness that runs along both inner fenders to power my lights.
I imagine both of them originate from the high/low switch...

It sounds like you guys are taking the original power-source from one of the plugs to power your relays?
followed by running a new power source to your lights?

thanks for the LINKS
