In the US at least, you can pick up a 30 amp relay at most any parts store, no need to buy a special kit. They work just fine, and the previous instructions look good to me. I've 'relayed' quite a few loads, like fog lamps, etc. and they'll work. I would surely think they have these little 'ice cube' style relays there, too.
