Check the archives first!!!!  I can't remember the actual specs but I have
an RS with the 'Euro' lights and changed them by plugging in the Triumph
relay.  I am fairly certain that you can do some damage by using a stock
relay as even the ST relay will not fit the RS, it was something to do with
the headlamps being wired in parallel and if the wrong relay was used it
shorts the battery and causes a flat battery after a short while.  Maybe
someone else on the list has a better memory than me and can remember the
exact reason?
