    Can i connect a relay to a jump start terminal.

    I am trying to add additional exterior lights to me car. The battery is located to the rear of the car, rather than trailing wires right through the car. Can I wire the relay into the jump start terminals that are present in the engine bay? Would this still provide power for this?
