Default 5 pin relays
Looking into this and now looking for some personal experience and what brand relay are you using?
Would like to have a good quality piece and not end up wasting my little time on junk.
Thanks!

What amperage rating? The common 30amp relay?

I have used 30, 60 & 120 amp relays. All made in China & no problems.

Many companies are making copies of the Bosch relay. Not sure if Bosch still makes them...or what country they are made in.

or a quick trip to the automobile recycling yard. Lots of cars used them, probably OEM quality.

I've been using the Hella weather sealed relays for several years now on my cars. Not a single failure.
