   Oh, right. Sorry, I didn't read your original question correctly, then.   
   What they *may* have done is to silver pad the contact points. Silver has   
   a marginally lower electrical resistance than copper, but you would not   
   notice without specifically looking at the contact areas.

   Horn, no surprise. Doesn't use much current. Headlamps, yes, that is   
   'unusual' shall we say. I can't say I've ever come across that.
