I've been checking this thread http://k11og.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6181 about the Eastern Beaver relay and went to the Easter Beaver website but I'm just slightly confused. Question

Which relay kit is recommended for the K11RS? I want the benefit of the relay and the option to run a higher wattage bulb, also.

Would it be

or

?

Easy answer..none of them.
As you intend to use a high power bulb, go for the one that got a ceramic socket.

I'm not 100% positive I'm going with a higher wattage bulb just yet but like the option if I decide to. I'm more interested in installing the relays to increase the life of the switch. I'd rather stay with a "legal" bulb that gets more power to it than go with a bulb that's going to piss off folks and draw the attention and ire of the local constabulary.
