Is there a round relay that will work for a 200 watt lamp load that I could just plug in for it?

I added the H4 head lamps with the 55/100W.
Know of anyone who would know? |

There are two places that have relay set ups for higher intensity lights, Rally lights.com and Bus Depot.com. You should do that as the extra current thru your headlight switch will eventually cause you problems.
