Time Delay Relay for HIDs...Options

[Knowklew]

So I have been looking for a time delay 12v SPDT automotive relay for my HID relay harness.

 

I have projector headlight housings with HIDs in them and I love the look plus I dont blind everyone like the stock housings with HIDs

 

The problem I have is that when I start the truck at night the ballasts will fire then go off because of the drop in voltage from starting the truck. I have to then manually turn the headlights on.

 

I know the bike guys use time delay setups for their HID setups but I cannot find a time delay relay.

 

Thanks,

Fred

I turned off approach lighting as well, but when i remote start the truck at night or just get in and start at night, the automatic headlights will turn the lights on.

 

I am considering disabling my automatic headlights...

if you wire the hids direct to the battery you shouldnt encounter the ballast flickering. That worked for mine.

My HID's are wired using a relay harness that takes power directly from the battery...
