Bought some lights that are the same as I've seen some here use,Optronics 55Watt.Going to make my own brackets but the kit doesn't have any kind of relay in it.Since everyone says to use one can I get one at a auto parts store or radio shack and if so any certain kind? Usually wiring and me equal big mess,thanks for any help.

Here's a good overview:

The 12 volt mini SPST is the type you want.

If you have an Ollie's Discount Warehouse near you, you might be able to get the same thing I got the other day at one near me. They had a shelf FULL of "fog light wiring kits" - basically the wiring harness, pre-terminated; fuse; relay; switch; and diagram. Everything but the lights themselves.

Everything I have is already wired...but I grabbed 2 sets anyway, just because. They were 9.99/each, couldn't beat that!

My set of Optronics from WMT was $16.00 and included the complete wiring kit.

I probably have the same kit Itileman. It's complete I just didn't see a relay like in some pictures on this site.I think I'm just going to hook it up as the directions so and try it out.
