        RK ~ No Relays needed & actually swapping HeadLights to LED pretty much eliminates the need to add relays

to the HeadLight Circuit as with LEDs You’ll get way more light with way less power passing through the circuit ~

(although I’d probably add Relays anyway if I didn’t already have them > did that DIY back in early 20teens,,

would use JBrowns now & have done many)

For 7 inch round headlights there are many complete assemblies available as they style is used for many motor cycles and Jeep vehicles. These do much better than some housings with retrofits and many offer other features such as daytime running lights and turn signals.
