Leon and Allen , Email me your addresses and I will send you some
relays.
JC Whitney sells a REAL GOOD quality H-4 lamp assembly . It is sold as
the one with a leaded crystal lens. I use old Cibie H'lights and they
are near impossible to find . The Whitney light looks for all the world
to have been made by the Cibie company or FOR them. It has real high
quality glass and exceptional silvering. The light is priced well below
the Hella lamp that is actually not as well made (IMHO).
By all means do the relay conversion and as already suggested a
separate feed to the bat is a real good idea . Since the control voltage
for the relay coils is coming from the original headlight supply there
will still be no worry of leaving the light on by accident.
Take the time to clean and lube the 169 switch in any event. Most of
the 169 failures stem from dirty contacts and/or a plunger spring that
has lost it's strength due to rust or heating. Clean all traces of
corrosion and lube with a bit of anti sieze on the cotact surfaces and
pivot points. The 169 will serve many years if maintained or it can go
up in a whiff as soon as lack of maintenance catches up with you.
