I am thinking about the HID upgrade for my 06 Ully and I know there is a lot of info on here about installs and different kits.
I was thinking about wiring a delay timer relay in the circuit to and was wondering if anyone knows was the amperage draw through the circuit is.
I am looking at wiring it into the power feed circuit from the battery.

Through the relay timer? Very little current, maybe 1/2 of an amp at the high end.

Through the HID? That can be quite a surge on startup, I think newer HIDS are better, but I have seen values like 17 amps thrown around.

I've got the technology (muhahaha) to make a much neater relay delay if there was a need for it... something programmable. But the old analog circuit I posted before is still working fine on my bike.

+1 on Reeps circuit. I modified his design a little bit because I don't care about delay when warmed up. Mine is one resister, one capacitor and one transistor. Gives me a 20 second delay before the Light ignites.

It is stupid simple and works fantastic.

Here's some info for you! This is for those of us who don't have the ability to make our own delay timer.
