Only in recent years, perhaps the last 20?, did the majority of car companies begin using relays for H/L's. I think the use of the "Multi-Function" switch had a lot to do with it..... Let's say it's "good practice" to use a relay as it saves wear/tear on the switch, not to mention having to run heavy wiring in/out of the dash area (heck of a lot easier to run a couple #20 wires than #10 in/out of dash), but lots of H/L switches (aftermarket) are designed to carry the load w/o a relay....

Re: 2004 pds e-z-go
I have restored my truck which is a 1971 Chevy. The switch burnt out in a couple of weeks after putting the high candle headlights in it for better driving at night. The relays take all the load off of the dash and other components in a older car. Relays have been in use since the late 80's in almost every car produced. I know of no car manufacture that doesn't use them now.

I had many cars in my life, my first a '62 Catalina Convertible, a few Thunderbirds, a couple of Lincoln Marks, MGA Convertible, '77 Chevy Nova, '78 Chevy Monza, and some I can't remember anymore, all of which used a dash mounted switch for H/L's. A good number of ATV's and other off-road vehicles as well as some boats still use a dash mounted light switch, and although I can't say for a fact I suspect that a good number of motorcycles still use a mechanical light switch instead of relays...... Nothing wrong with switches as long as they are rated for the load and it's practical to run the wiring. |
