Headlight Big Amp Relay kit installation - with pictures

It's always best to keep relays inside out of the weather unless you run epoxy sealed relays. This kit has OEM style locking relay bases that mount directly to the 86-91 Vanagon fuse block. https://sites.google.com/site/vanagonheadlightrelays/headlight-relays/86to91

I agree with you about weather exposure. My goal was to have the shortest current path to the headlights and that's why I didn't want to run them through the factory fuse maze. I could have had them just inside, but frankly having them behind the headlights made it a lot easier to have short wires to crimp and fasten. Another alternative would be to do what I did but put them in a water tight exterior electrical box and seal the wire entrances and exits with underwater epoxy. I know it is a swamp mechanic's solution, but I honestly haven't had any failures and if I do, the spare relays can be slapped in with ease.

Thanks all for the clarification, feel happier about tapping into the wires now.
