I am wondering. What size diode do I need to use in the relay setup for cornering lights. I hope I have this in the right forum. If not please let me know. I have another question about diodes but I’m not sure where to ask it.

1 amp diodes will be sufficient in that setup. By the way, 1 amp diodes are used in all of the12volt's diagrams, unless otherwise specified.

1n4001 - 1n4007 or any number in between those, whichever you can find.
