Yes. all of my lights are run through relays.  I put a second fuse block
behind the glove box, ran heavy (12 gauge I think) wire from the battery to
the block.  One fuse per circuit, through relays and out to the lights.
Wiring to the lights is heavy gauge all the way, and every connector is
soldered.  I run 80 watts in the fogs, 100 in the highs, and 80/100 in the
H4's.  Huge difference, like Yankee Stadium at a night game.
