Wonder if over the years of supplying these, they've just gotten cheaper, trying to save themselves money by giving the customer parts that aren't as of high quality? I'm not sure. Hope it isnt going to cause me problems though!

The only relay failures I've ever heard of were "out of the box" failures. Right after installation. I question some of them as I would venture to guess the real problem was poor grounding.

That's refreshing! I didn't mean to knock on a company's product that has been widely used and loved.
I'm probably gunna pick up another pair just in case too. Leave it in the jeep somewhere so that I don't get stranded somewhere one night

I am sure you could directly power them by bypassing the relays if you really needed to. Not sure if that would hurt anything in the long run, though.

worst case, you cut the relay out of the system (connect the wires directly together) if you need to
