[DML] Re: Headlight switch savers

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I did this very thing some 20 years ago to my 3354 so I could get a marker light flash with my alarm - I realized when I set it up that I was removing a lot of amperage from the light switch. Same relays (OEM's in the relay compartment), original light switch, so far, and 60,000 miles later.

It would be incredibly easy to install 2 relays in line with those fuses such that a separate relay controls each side of the car.  This would also relocate the relays to the "relay compartment" instead of hidden behind the center console.
