12v DC

Thanks Gents. I hadn’t thought that the socket might have too many amps for the switch, but that does make sense. The need for the relay is because the new lights draw too much power for the switch, so I might be just putting that power back into the switch wiring the relay from the socket? Wiring isn’t my strong suit!

I’m thinking I could grab power from the flashlight charger maybe, or the glove box light too. I’m thinking those would draw fewer amps.

I think I get what you are saying 80s, but maybe not. Can I power the relay and the lights from the same battery post? Like my previous setup, I’m going to use the terminal by the brake booster/master cylinder. If I connected both the light hot wire, and the relay wire there, wouldn’t the lights work all the time, basically cutting the switch out of the setup?
