Relay to switch driving lights?

ells · 09-27-2008, 01:33 PM

Would anyone know if the relay that comes with the Stebel horn (rated 30A 12V) could be used to switch on 100W driving lights using the high-beam line as the switching current. Not talking about using the same one that drives the Stebel but I have an extra one and would like to use it with driving lights. Of course the Stebel application is very intermittent and the driving light application would be continuous-on. Any way to tell ahead of time without hooking it up and seeing if it gets warm/not?

Thanks
