Euro light relays

[andre at nwmicrobrews.com (Andre Bjorkheim)]

Larry, 

My statement about him only having two relays total was in reference to
having to use a single relay for BOTH highbeam circuits, not just the
one side.  A single 30 amp relay is not recommended to run both highbeam
circuits if you go to overwattage bulbs.  Having only received two
inline fuses it would seem as if they only sent out two relays.  Hence
the statement:

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