Re: Headlight relay

These kits are great. I would find one that has the following: at least 2 relays, 1 for high beam and 1 for low beam. Real high quality 5-pin relays made by Bosch, Hella, or Tyco. No offshore China relays (sealed Delco oval relays would also be acceptable-but not square). Actual real relay sockets, if it just has female spades for the relays, pass. Would be nice if the sockets had a mounting tab. Good quality wire and nice loom. Be sure to create a rock-solid ground. You are replacing-or at least supplementing-the factory ground for the headlights with this harness. If you do that you should have something that will last another 50 years.
