Agreed.  Relay'ing any electical consumer is a good idea, however, I doubt
that relays would provide much more an improvement than the better grounds
did (on a stock system).

Cheers,

Depends on the head lights.  But good grounds is always the foundation.
Relays would come in if you are using higher current lamps that you don�t
want the heavy current going through your switches.  VW realized that in the
later vanagons when they upgraded the current rating of the light switch but
a better option would have been to relay it.

Planned insanity is best.
