Buy extra relays when you buy the kit, they are not readily available at your local store so it's nice to have extras in the truck if one fails.

That is why when the first one failed (my fault) I replaced it and the pig tails with ones you can get local.
I pushed the connector out of the relays plug, did the same with the replacement pig tail the fits the new relays and pushed the connector into the new plug.
Did this for both relays from the kit and bought a spare just in case.

Or you could get them from a supplier like DigiKey or something and buy in bulk and wait for shipping but get a cheap price. The middle of the road best deal I've found from what I would consider a reputable vendor is this: https://tomsoffroad.com/parts/headli...ay-replacement

The typical relays in these kits are becoming more and more available. I’m sorry I don’t have the part numbers handy, but I’ve told several customers how to get replacements or spares at their local parts store.
