" Painless wiring actually makes a kit to add relays to Headlight systems for this purpose.
" It is highly recomended for older cars that run Halogen Lamps as the original switches will burn out because of the higher draw of the Halogen lamps.

this is urban legend, i think.  street-legal headlights are limited by
law to 55w max, and it doesn't matter what type they are.  legal
halogens aren't noticeably different in this respect than the old
sealed beams.  where they are different is that the halogen process
lets the filament run hotter without sacrificing life, and thus emit
more of that 55w as visible light.

the latest wrinkle is coating the inside of the lens with a heat
mirror.  this allows a bigger, brighter filament to reach operating
temperature without drawing more power.
