I found some at a local Electronics Supplier store in Riverside, CA. They
are pretty large, and the contacts can take several amps of load. They were
solder type though.

Nate, this is a case where size doesn't matter...lol. What you are looking
for is the amp rating for the relay....30 amps is a pretty routine relay in
the 12v world...if you need more than 30 amp service I think you are going
to have to go to a specialty type relay...try some of the larger places like
JEGS, Macromotive etc.

On the other hand, 30 amps at 12 volts is 360 watts. I can't think of an
automotive load that is this large.

Hi Jeff,
Actually, 30 Ampers is 180 Watts:
http://www.sei4x4.org/Wire_Size_Char...ize_chart.html So, you
would need two relays for the KC Daylighters:
