H4 Light Upgrade.. Relay Question?

I just installed the Pelican H4 headlight kit into my 87 911. Would have been nice if there were instructions on how to wire up the bulb and how to attach wires to the adapter. I had to search the internet to find out what the pins on the bulb were. And it took me a good ten minutes to figure out how to attach wires to the little adapter thing.

I also hooked up the little light bulbs inside the headlight assembly to the running light circuit. Looks neat!

I also bought the heavy duty relay from Pelican. Can some one tell me where it goes? The fuse box in the front trunk has German round fuses. There is a Bosch relay on the side of this fuse box, but it has a 50A relay installed and the "Heavy Duty" one I bought is rated 40A. Maybe this isn't the headlight relay? If not, what is it for?
And where is the square headlight relay?

Thanks in advance

Roy,
Do a search on "Sucro". Marcus Sucro builds and sells a relay kit for the H4 upgrade. Tons of info in this search.
Cheers,
Paul

Yeah, use Early_S_Man as your author to narrow it down. He unidentified the terminals by number for me on the early car and I think he posted the numbers for the later cars as well. Surco's instructions tell you where to find them, but not the number. Either way, the headlight circuits are the ones you remove and intercept with the relay. It's pretty straight forward once you're in there.
