Terry Kay, long time list member, sells a really sweet headlight relay
kit for $30. The wires are the right matching colors and it installs
cleanly to the 86+ relay panel. It uses genuine 2 VW relays and 2 relay
sockets and it retains the stock headlight fuse layout. Instructions
included.

I have bought a few kits from him and he also has them on Ebay.
