As for headlight relay, it's a big, about 8-terminal


Actually, the headlight relay has eleven pins. The three center pins are not used and they have no connections inside the cover.

The only thing special about this relay is that the mounting tab is part of the relay's base. The relay itself is a double pole, double throw (DPDT, ON/ON) type relay with a 12 volt DC coil. I put together one for a friend's car using an off-the-shelf relay and fabricating a simple bracket from a piece of L-metal, all for under $20.

There is one variation on the relay. The relay for the late cars ('74) has an internal connection inside the relay cover for the ground. This is also a simple modification.
