I was wondering why why not use a latching relay to power the headlights instead of two regular relays? It seems less complicated to me.

Added note, I think the relay would be called a DPST relay.
Really? I thought they were like regular relays that switched the high current via a low current switch.possibly less reliable, and maybe needs beefier cables in more of the circuit, and beefier switches to carry the full load current.
If you used C/O relay to switch between main and dipped beams, you'd still need another single pole relay to actually switch the headlamps on or off. More complex than a single relay for each function.First, thanks for all the responses.

Yes relays switch a high current with a low current to actuate them.First, thanks for all the responses.
