[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 903507, member: 615"] The switching contact of that relay has an easy life. It never has to interrupt current flow. Once it's pulled in and powering the lights it remains on until the ignition is switched off. The ignition switch interrupts the headlight current. In comparison the hi/lo beam relay has a much rougher life except it probably operates much less frequently. When you toggle this relay its contacts do interrupt current flow so the contacts will erode over time. [/QUOTE]
