RE: Sacrilege?

Relay the lights, even if the lights are STOCK wattage.  Relaying may or may
not affect the fuel pump, but it certainly cannot hurt.  Someone gave me an
excellent diagram, it may have be Brian H., several months ago...I'll try to
dig it up.

hmm this talk of killing switches is worrying me.  im running unrelayed 
euros right now.  dims are VERY DIM, but brights work really well.  so 
far the switch seems to be ok.  I've also noticed my fuel pump changes 
pitch when i put the lights on.  would relaying the lights help 
something like that too?

ps: i saw a tech procedure on some website that listed what relays to 
get and where and did a pretty good job at explaining the procedure, 
anyone know the site?

Speaking from experience. I raided every light switch in 3 yards for my
16v... I smoked 4 inside of 4 months that  i owned the car. THe first 
time
i smoked ithe switch... the PO had the euros installed and the "worked"
enough not to get stopped. Couldnt see shit with em tho. So I dropped
another one in and it worked about a week, then i lost dash lights...i
figured big deal... until I noticed the no taillights. THis was the case
on every switch until i relayed the lights. Easy way to tellis to put 
your
finger on the switch if it's hot relay the lights or you'll be ording a
new one from potterman.

Have a nice day..
