Pilot/tail/instruments are all part of the same circuit, so it's up to you if you consider a relay to be necessary or not, personally, I wouldn't overdo the relays, otherwise you could end up with a more complex system of wiring than you started with!

Cheers! I think I'll give it a go, never having done extra fuses and relays before it all seems so daunting, but to wire it yourself gives a bit of satisfaction... if it works????

Reading through the site and other info on relays, they say to try and get the relay close to the switch, would you agree or put them together and run wires to where needed? I would prefer a little wiring as possible for neatness.

On a site I found this way of putting in a relay, 1 relay for all!

Would this work using the main ignition switch as the means of switched power?
