Did you wire in 4 relays, 1 for each light or just 1 per side.

I'm in the midst of this project myself but having a hard time finding
12V switched power on my 84's fusebox area.  The directions make it sound
like there are 4 'open' spots available but I can't find any, I'm
thinking the directions are for later model vanagons with a different
wiring layout?
