headlight relays

The headlamp relay kit from Painless Wiring is a painful $168. You can buy relays and wired bases (4 term) cheap on ebay, but must wait on delivery from Hong Kong.

I went whole hog and got a Power Distribution Center (PDC) from a Grand Cherokee at the junkyard. Was maybe $20 and included the relays (7) and fuses. I thought I could leverage a lot of the wiring, but ended up taking out all the terminals and starting from scratch. I was 1 relay short (a future fan). Anyway, those are often a separate high-amp solid-state relay on many cars (bumper mounted), so I'll do that. Installing the engine harness currently and repairing the under-dash harness on the bench. I'll post a summary when done.

A basic "roll your own" 6-relay block from Painless is $291. A full PDC and wiring for an LS1 engine is $1600, which is closer to my effort. I don't see anything for Mopar.
