Re: 12 volt relay question

It makes sense to do it, it just depends on if the work is worth the result. For headlights, its a pretty easy upgrade and fairly standard wiring. The rest of them you run into the issue of where to put the relays, where do you get them, how much do they cost and on and on. I think the easiest way would be to get a fuse block/relay block out of a newer vehicle and then adapt it to your application. But then you run into the problem of how good is the original wiring and how hard is it to adapt. Anything you can put on a relay is going to operate better because it will be getting full B+ voltage, but getting there may not be the easiest feat.
