Default Brighter headlight help finding relays

I am wanting to do the brighter headlight mod that I have posted in the FAQ, but I don't have a Radio Shack or a place around here that sells relays. Does anybody know of a place online where I can order them?

What kind of relays do you need. We have the Bueler 40/60 5 pin relays that we use on the 05+ Mustang HID kits. I can give you the name of the place I get them from online, the only thing is they have certain minimum purchase quantities.

Thanks for the reply Matt. I need either a 30 amp Bosch or a 40 amp P&B relay. I also need the relay socket (single) and the relay socket (dual).

I never thought about the local car parts place having them. I was thinking Radio Shack. Thanks Aussie.....I'll check with them tomorrow.

doh!
I bought the halogen kit to replace the old sealed beams as well...another "gunna" job!
I am planning on replacing all of the wiring forward of the relays - get rid of the old wires and half rusty connections and start nice and fresh!

Pep Boys will have the relays..but probably not the sockets. You can also call around to the local Stereo installers and ask them if they'll sell you a couple.

for mail order...
