I've heard people putting them on the headlight harness and making the lights use less amps. What do they do and how do they help?

yup, the relay would cook before it starts your ammeter on fire or .....;)
Has anybody found a relay supplier that won`t break the bank?
26-1942 - RELAY SOCKET 5-PIN FOR BOSCH TYPE AUTO RELAY
26-533 - 40A Automotive 12V Relay

Thats true but then that headlight relay is hot at all times. Try this , Buy one more relay, let the blue wire at the altenater signal it or any switched 12v source. pull the heavy gauge wire and current from it to as many relays as the heart desires. Be hard to leave the lights on this way tooInstead of the starter relay (which would not be a totally bad place) I would go upstream to the alternator itself for my supply. Here's why: All alternator output is via a 10 AWG conductor which runs through the bulkhead connector through the ammeter, and then back over to the starter relay. If you feed directly off the alternator, you main headlight draw is removed from the charging circuit. As has been often mentioned, our bulkhead connectors and ammeters work better and last longer if you reduce the amount of current running through them.
