Headlamp Relays and Washer Relays: Vehicle Search Guide

A headlamp relay search usually concerns a vehicle’s electrical system. The relay switches power to a lighting circuit; a headlamp washer relay, where fitted, serves a different circuit. Neither is a wearable head torch. Before ordering a replacement, identify the vehicle’s make, model, year and trim, then consult its wiring diagram and fuse-box information. Similar-looking relays may have different pin layouts or ratings. If a lamp has stopped working, check the full circuit rather than assuming the relay is at fault. For safety-critical electrical work, use the vehicle service manual or a qualified auto electrician. If your intended search was for a rechargeable outdoor head torch, use the rechargeable headlamp guide instead.
