Headlights on a rocker switch panel fuse
I have been fighting out the hackjob of wiring for the lighting system in my Jeep that the previous owner gave to me and am now wanting to use a set of rocker switches to turn on/off headlights and the other perimeter lighting.
I have decided to use a Putco H4 relay harness to relieve pressure off the rocker switch and yield better headlight performance.
The Putco harness does not seem to have fuse protection and I wonder if I should add a fuse to the harness. ?
Are there any concerns about using a switch panel for headlights? The fixture in the dash that holds the OEM headlight switch has broken and I need to find a better solution than just doing another hackjob fix with the stupid stock switch.

I have built several cars using aftermarket wiring harness for all the basic wiring Ign., Lights, etc. they were all Painless kits for race cars but I think they sell single ones also that will do what your after. They are not cheap but are excellent high quality kits.
If you want to look at them Summit and Jegs both handle them.

Wire has become real expensive over the last few years... :/
