Buzz, the purpose of a relay, in this case is to switch the rather large current 'remotely'..such that a high-amperage line is not run over a long distance and in need of a High-amperage switch.
The dash switch closes the relay with low current to a coil...and the relay contacts close the circuit to the lights.
BUT... the light circuit still runs from a fuse, for protection.
