L.E.D.s are another plus to the system wherever possible to cut down
on amp/current draw
Totally not needed on a stock truck. Think about how long those parts lasted before failure. The stock headlight switch ran the headlights and the added load of trailer lights also. that was part of the deign criteria back in the day.. Now that I said that, the headlight relays do work really well. For the most part this is a keep it simple affair. If you are going relay crazy why not swap everything over to constant hot with switched grounds and add a body control module? Don't go nuts over the simple things. Save the relays for things like electric fuel pumps.
