I mounted my two relays under the instrument pod cover on the left side of the instrument pod. There is a flat spot there, just behind the light switch that is easy to get to. When my lights failed - I found a discolored wire into the relays - indicating heat from to much load. And the relays were dead of course. Changed the relays and all was well. Heavier relays and maybe a change in wire sizes may be in order - and I don't have the 100 watt bulbs!
