Catch me up on the story. What are you using this relay for? Why do you need 5 pins?

I have two lights that are 130W I got a high power light kit with the lights but the relay is bad. I wanted to use the same plug as the old 4 prong relay but could not find any good 4 prong relays. Went to my local Pep boys and got a relay from the back that the kid said would work I know that i need a 30A and from the cost it should be. Anouther man behind the desk said that i could run my LED lights off the same relay. That could kill two birds with one stone...

The 4 and 5 prong relays work the same way. The center pin on the 5 prong relay is normally on, and off when the relay is energized. The other four pins work the same as a regular four pin relay.

Yes, so you technically do not need the pin 87a where the wire is missing.
