That frame-mount bar looks like a better idea than the bumper-mount item I linked (pedestrians unlucky enough to get hit probably don't have a preference which one destroys their legs).
Regular relays draw almost no current; the computer won't see it or care about it. I have no info on this generic solid-state relay (or so it claims, I have my doubts on that) you linked to, but the seller's description has that "English as a very difficult second language" feel about it, and that offer of theirs to apply whatever brand name the buyer wants is sketchy as all nuts:
The item no paper instructions, please download the PDF file, and before buying please read the file:
http://www.аudіоwіnd.com/new-pdf/f-1001.pdf
Other, we can support customer customized order, if your order >=100 units, you can change product label, logo and switch type (SPST-NO / SPST-NC / SPDT).
Following that link to аudіоwіnd.com (minus the pdf) leads us to the seller's stores on eBay and AliExpress (Ding Ding Red Flag Ding!), where we find an invitation to email the seller directly at lіѕhеng@сhunzеhuі.com . As I suspected. I can't guarantee this product is a piece of junk, but almost.
(Then there's the price. A SPST solid state relay from a reputable maker, you're looking at $20+ apiece in low quantities.)
Yes, it's a better idea to use a standard, easy-find relay. Pick a good brand: Tyco-Bosch, PB, Omron and Flosser would be my short list (in no specific order). Try to use a relay that has two 87 terminals -- not a single 87 and not an 87 and an 87a and not an 87a and an 87b.
