This is my understanding as well. Even the sealed beam stock type lights can benefit from the use of a relay.
I'm still waiting for Dapper Lighting to release their OE glass 5.75" Once that happens I'll be going that direction more than likely.
At this point currently I actively avoid driving the car at night, especially on a dimly lit highway at speeds above 50mph. It's simply not safe with sealed beams and the factory wiring.
