IML: headlight door relay

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone installed a headlight relay on an Imperial with hidden headlights?
I installed a headlight relay which worked fine except the headlight doors 
stopped functioning. As soon as I reverted to the headlight switch(original 
install) the doors operated again. I can't really understand why that would 
be as the power source for the headlight door relay is the same(from 
headlight switch) and this same source is controlling the headlight relay 
which works fine. Could be that the resistances of the relay coils which are 
in series mean I am dropping too much voltage at the headlight door relay 
and it will not make contact. Have to measure the resistances and see what 
is happening. Tired of driving down the highway and having my headlights 
unexpectedly turn off from bad switch/circuit breaker. Don't need those kind 
of surprises.
