Thanks Maddict,
no im using an alfa engine, i realy wanted to know if its only the retract control relay needed or is there more relays used?

Im not sure, but it works as a windowwiper mechanisme. So I guess one relay for both the open and close movement.

The retract control relay is all you'll need for the motors, you'll need a separate relay for the headlights (main/dip) here's links to a couple of diagrams that may help

Honestly, you'r better of with a F355 or murcielago based on a MR2. Those kits look 100 times more real as the Countach one. But thats just an opinion.
