headlight relay

What are you guys doing about headlight relays?
Do you use the original bike ones or do you go for beefier car ones.
Bike lights are typically rubbish anyway but just wondering.

Best thing is to look at the rating on the boke relay and if it is not high enough swap it out.

Two 65W lamps will pull aroung 10A so you would need atleast a 15A relay.

I,ve left the bike relays in. II think the wattage is roughly the same for biker/car lights, so should be OK.

Looks like it should be ok then.
Looking at the wiring diagram appears to have both lights on for dipped and main, 60/55W bulbs in both.
It's also a 20A headlight fuse so I would imagine they plan on the fuse going before the relays.
