As per a relay, what are they switching?

Fan'll need one, fuel pump probably would. Sidelights don't need one, dipped beam dpends upon what the switch is rated at, but I
would use one for the main beam. Fog light again, may need one, depends on the switch.
Relays aren't difficult, just a power feed in and out and a switch. Mybe an earth wire too.

Common on the switch you mean? If so, no idea as I don't know how the savage switchs are wired up.

Not sure, most of the relays I've used before have either been sierra jobs or have had a little pic on them to say whats what. Are there any
other marks on the relays?

Savage switches are really easy, just look complicated at first.
The detachable bit is just a switch base. The really cool bit about them is that there is effectively 2 seperate switches in each unit. If you are
just switching one circuit just use either.
LED's - you van collect up all earths togather. The live will then either be connected to sidelights or to the power out if you want to use LED
as an on indicator (ie for fogs, hazard etc).
The main switch is then just power in and power out - this goes to either the final unit or relay. You can also use them as normally closed - ie push
to switch off but i never found an application for this in our cars.
The only tricky bit to wire up is the hazard but you can tackle this after you get normal indicators working. For hazard you use both sides of the
switch to avoid connecting the RH and LH indicators.
Just an aside - for the illumination the lED's (or whatever they are) just push in. In transit they can come loose. If backlight is intermittent
or not working try pushing them back in before returning switch as faulty.
