You should be able to get a relay at any parts store.
Take the old one with you when you go.

thx everyone for all the input. However, i got the relay from autozone. But another companion on here told me to check out my running light relay inside the car. I dnt know if youve read my other post but here is my problem...

I was driving home last night and my headlights start flickering rapidly. A few seconds after this starts, the interior lights begin to flicker as well. I was panicked so I fidgeted with the light switch on the steering wheel and got the flickering to stop. So I get home and I turn my car off but the headlights stay on. I put my key back in and turn it to the on position and the lights go off. So i figured the problem was resolved. But when I woke up this morning and went to start my car, the battery i flat dead. Thats when I notice a clicking noise coming from the engine bay fuse box. I open it and remove the headlight relay and the clicking stops. When I put the fuse back in, it starts clicking again. So I replaced the relay and presto. no problem. so do you think its the relay that caused the problem?? just wanna know so this doesnt happen to me in the future. I missed church because this thing!. lord forgive me lol.

where is the relay located? sorry for questioning a question.

its in the engine bay on the right side when your standing in front of the car. In the fuse box, its the brown relay(not sure if its brown in all solaras).
