You know they are only spec'ed to 5A @ 50V ac? IIRC for DC you have to reduce the spec.

I'm only using them for signals and switchgear, nothing high current. Starter switches, immobiliser switches etc are spaded separately.

seen too many nice cars set on fire by dodgy wiring. For stuff on the low current side of relays those should be fine.
