Euro light relays

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

Guys, two 100W bulbs will only pull 17 amperes. 
 A 30A relay will handle a pair of lights, even if you go to 130W bulbs.

  30A should be fine, unless you only have 2 and you plan on running high
  wattage bulbs in your highbeam location.

  If you only use one fuse and/or one relay for the low beams, should you
  lose a fuse or relay then you are SOL.  Make sure you use 2 independent
  relays/fuses for the lowbeam circuit as its most important.

  I wired my citylights to the backup circuit.  Always on when the car is
  running.  Just another option...
