A QUESTION FOR THE ELECTRONIC GURU'S :-)

Uncle blinggy has a question for any of my brothers with a good answer. I AINT GONNA SPEND 230.00 AGAIN FOR PIAAS!!!! God yes I love em but not this time around. My question is to you brother electric guru's is, Since im not spending 230.00 for a set of piaas I found a nice set of 55 w bulb each light at WALLYWORLD FOR 30.00 Of course its not pia quality but I dont care. The piaa set has a relay in the kit and the wallyworld set aint got no relay in the kit. I can buy a relay and put one in line but alot easyer to do the install without the relay. so FLOOD ME WITH ANSWERS is a Relay really important fo a light install on the bike?? I do know that when I ran my 3 coolant fans on my transam 2 on 1 switch and a single on the other with no relays in line talk bout a dddddddduuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh moment when I used the fans the switches back's literally melted from the heat from the draw of the fans let alone the wires were red hot TOTAL STUPIDITY ON MY PART I FORGOT TO PUT RELAYS IN LINE I was so overwhelemd in building the car. So Im afrade that these lights might do the same thing my fans did to my transam. funny I can build a car and here I am asking a question like this BUT I WANNA BE SURE BEFORE I DO THE LIGHT INSTALL. Ill wait to see what the consesnus is on my question fom you guys, Thanks alot my brother

much love from the blingmeister aka uncle blinggy :-)

Eddie,
Take a Look at this thread:

This shows a light bar that DennisB makes. Its a real nice looking setup and a great way to bling your bike with the lights you bought. PM him to purchase one.

As for the relay...Nice thing about a relay is that it adds not only a layer of protection for your switch, but allows you a wider range of switch choices, because you can use a switch that handles lower amperage, and which is usually physically smaller.

Eddie, ditto the recommendation on DennisB's light bar. I changed over from having my lights mounted down on the fork where the reflectors were, and the light bar is a much better location for your lights.

Hi Eddy,

Here is some information you might like to read about relay use: https://www.silverwing600.com/silver-wing-accessories-modifications-f5/use-of-relays-on-aftermarket-driving-fog-spot-lights-intallation-t959.htm
