The role of the 4-pin relay and the role of protection
Retrofitting high-power appliances, you need to buy a high-current relay, otherwise it will affect the life. For example, to protect the car headlights, because the voltage of the car headlights is relatively low, and the power of the headlights is relatively large, if the direct control of the light bulb with the switch, will be directly through a very large current easy to burn out the switch, the same reason, the horn, motor, etc..
A good car relay will be the guardian of your car.
