[TR] Headlight Relays

[Joe Curry]

Since horns don't draw anywhere near as much current as Halogen Headlamps,
it might not handle the current.  Look for one that is current rated well
above the amount of current the headlamps will draw or it will burn the
relay contacts.

Greetings. It is possible (safe, effective) to use the Lucas TR4A horn relay
as a headlight relay? I'm considering upgrading to halogen headlights and
would like to avoid putting an ugly, modern-looking relay in my engine
compartment.

Thanks.
