Replace (junk?) Putco relays on Plug/play H4 Headlight upgrade? Or use RJM harness?

Here is a pic of my relays mounted.
I drilled very small pilot holes and then forced the screws in while I turned them just enough to get them started. Id say the bit needs to be half the diameter of the screw or less. Just enough to get the tip started. Once youve got them snug there is no need to crank them down. These are the screws I used. I always have a pack of these in the house. I use them for lots of fixes and stuff.

Very nice work. Clean, neat. Looks great.

Last week I was having some relay issues. So when I got home I emailed Putco about getting a part number or a replacement. I just received a call from them tonight and they said if I send them a proof of purchase that they would send me a new relays. I will keep you guys updated when I get the relays.

Just got my new FREE relays from Putco if you are having issues with the relays give them a call. Took under a week to get to me and now I have spares!

Are there better replacement relays for the Putco? Mine haven't given me trouble, but I would like some good spares and not warranty junk if possible.
