headlight relays

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Well I did a littl overkill but I run driving/fog lights that turn on at the
same time my 80/100w H4 turn on , and I run 135w H3's So I use a 4 relay
system withc is 10 ga wire, with 40amps relays backed up with 20amps fuses.

My Way (based on others ideas of course)

yeah the original idea was to keep 55w driving/low and 60w highs... but then
I discovered sylvania had 80/100 and 135w bulbs... MUAHAHAH

=>B&A-
=> I used 10ga. ... probably overkill, but it doesn't hurt.
=>Since I'm running 90/100W bulbs,  I used a 35A relay for the two
=>low beams,
=>and a 35A relay for each pair of high beams, for a total of three relays.
=>Each relay is fused.  Added good grounds, just as John did.
=>  Been working without problems for almost two years.
