An excellent article on why to upgrade to a relay system. I have done this
and my H4 Hallogen lights are about 30% brighter after the upgrade, and the
switch in the dashboard no longer gets hot.

I did not use his kit, I just bought the relays from radio shack, but he
also offers a kit for a very reasonable price:

I liked the results of using the relays on the headlights so much, I also
added one to the heater blower motor, and now I have defrosters that
actually work!
