This is as Joseph Lucas intended it. To make the full of your Halogen 
lights, wire in relay's that are fed straight from the battery through a 
heavy fuse (25A) using heavy gauge wiring and are switched through the 
original wiring. The original wiring is to skimpy for headlights with to 
much resistance lowering the Voltage at the lamps.
