Hi Dan,
relays are specially constructed to provide a low current draw with
reliable and high current switching ability.
A 30A headlamp relay only needs several milliamps to operate (1/1000
of an amp!), but is capable of switching 30A continuous to the
secondary circuit.
The generous use of these fellas will take the high current load off
cabin switchgear and "relay" it to, you guessed it, the relay.
Make sure you do use 12V relays for a 12V car, BOSCH is a reliable
source, or your favourite wrecking yard.
Modern cars have dozens of these devices fitted to plug in sockets.
Regards,
Graeme Suckling

Is this because the 12VDC relays have some kind of internal resistor
to keep
the current down?
