What's this relay kit intended to do?

Triumph for some unknown reason decided to run the full load of the headlight thru the ignition switch which eventually get to hot and melts the solder there by no power to bike motor as and you are walking. It is an easy fix if you are handy with wiring and a soldering iron or you can buy the "Eastern Beaver headlight relay kit" which draws the power to the headlights directly from the battery via two relays (1 hi beam 1 low beam) there is only a about 3 amps going thru ignition switch instead of 30 amps, side benefit is the your lights will also be brighter. I made my own as have others it is not hard and cheaper than EB kit



Oh and another Welcome from Auss

Thanks for the info Hanso. I was a heavy truck mechanic before the fire service, so no problem for the wiring.....from your description, I can see that the 30 amps running through the switch would cause some problems. Like you say, it takes very little amps to close a relay. I appreciate the reply. Thanks again.

Black. I've been reading a lot about the timing gear kit...I think I'll do that one, and the transmission.
