[Supras] Headlight recommendations

[Joel Watkinson (Cars)]

You can always just get the Radio Shack relays too. They are actually
pretty tough. I've used them fine for years.

They also offer a higher power version:

that also has a socket:

You can't get the socket version at the store, but you can get it
online.
