Passing lamp relay

[gibvel]

What would be the proper relay to wire the passing lamps?

 

I'm assuming that something like this could be purchased from the local auto parts store.

I used a 30 amp LIGHT (continuous duty) relay. This is heavier than you really need, but the price is the same as a 20 amp. I believe in going with heavy amp circuits when possible. My auto parts store had a plug to put on the relay to make the wiring a little easier..

Thanks Steve. I like to err on the side of caution as well.

 

What, exactly, was the plug you're referring to? I'm assuming it in the same section as the relay.

Off of the relay post #86 i think what wire do you do you tap to have lights on all the time?

Don't know if these two posts can help but I found these in my searches:

The second is the Yamaha installation documents for the passing lamps. At the bottom it tells you how to hook it up so that the lights work as on all the time, with the brights and with the lows only
