There are no headlights relays for the Gen 1 Dakotas. There should have been, but Chrysler didn't seem to understand basics of electricity back than.

It's highly recommended to install relays for the headlights. I'm hoping to get around to making a how-to for this. But with basic knowledge of how a relay operates (Google search), and wiring diagrams (see the "FAQs" page at the top of the Gen 1 Dakota section), it's really easy to do.
