My understanding is that the reason headlights were not fused in MGs was so
that a
blown fuse would not leave you without headlights at an inopportune moment.
Wouldn't the same logic apply to a relay? Do "modern" cars have a relay in the
headlight circuit? Since I plan to completely rewire my 74 1/2 GT I would
appreciate comments from those more knowledgeable.
Thanks,
