Maybe you need one of those timed delay units that will wait like 15 seconds before switching on the headlights.

Nope, they don't get hot.

But I will say that I'm a little disappointed with the slim-ballast kit I just ordered. I installed them last night, and every-time I turn on the bike, I need to turn it off and back on again for them to come on. But I'm still working on it to see if it's a problem with my battery having been recently recharged. I'll keep everyone posted.

Not sure on the full size but the slims dont like to "flash" like on start up..I got where i just hold in the start switch and key on at the same time..Never had any issues..

I know if i "flash" my high beam it will do that(not come on sometimes)..

I'm going to have to give that a try before I return it.

Well at least you have tried the delay module so we know. I looked at their picture, and it looks "homemade-ish" and it isn't really sealed. Well that stinks....

Here's my Harbor Freight ones installed. Its just a low kit. They have a Hi/Lo H4 kit but I keep calling my local store and they still dont have them. I"m just waiting for them to get them in so I can return my low kit.

I still like the relay hooked up to the kickstand idea - I'll have to figure out how to make it work - doesn't look hard - just need to remember to start the bike with the sidestand down.

I wonder if you could somehow tap in on the Headlight fuse thereby saving having to cut any of the wires that actually feed the headlight. - Then just tap into the kickstand switch (Ground when up) and away you go. - OR how about the oil pressure switch - then as the pressure came up, the lights would kick on... - Though if the motor shutdown, the lights would too... - How about some sort of "Latching" method on this one - where lights would be off until the engine was started (Oil pressure comes up) - then once they kick on, they stay on irregardless of the oil light...

There has to be some electrical engineer type on here that has figured out how to make this work simply... - I'm thinking a Relay with a resistor on the power side of the coil, a direct connection to the ground side of the coil, a feed from the HL fuseblock for the 87 terminal, and a line from the headlight side with a diode to keep the load of the lights from feeding back. The line would take care of the "Latching" function. - The reistor would prevent the relay from latching until the batt voltage reached a certain voltage (12/14 volts) then once it kicked on it would stay on until the key was switched off.

^^ Yeah, I posted about a year ago wondering if that could be done. I know it can be done, I just don't have the time to troubleshoot it right now.
