What are you saying here? Are you saying that when you install a relay you
end up with one circuit that results in brighter lighting where originally
you had four circuits with weaker lighting but greater safety? I don't
really understand relays or electronics. I know what an electron is but
thats about all.

I have the square lights. So more money, right? 225 isn't it? Not including
relays, heavier wire, et. (et?).

Too busy looking, I think. By the way have you seen the smoke gray front
turn signal lights on the tiico web site?
