H.I.D. System $25!!!

DEI is def. good bang-for-the-buck stuff, but the problem with using that relay for HIDs is that it requires a trigger pulse, not a constant signal. Meaning you'd have to use a momentary button to manually turn them on - fine if that's what you want, but not automatic as headlights should be.

This one is the best, most compact solution I found - and solid-state transistor vs. mechanical coil (more expensive though): http://www.wolstentech.com/products/...delayrelay.php

FTMFW!!! Now I can get behind this with both guns! It's compact, simple, water resistant and designed for this specific application. Plus they also claim 6 amp initial draw and thus don't mention the battery (mine is rated for 175 cca) but I understand that bit about the ballast/bulb life. Now do I want to order something that costs $25 and tear into my bike to prolong the life of something that costs $25....hmmmmm...
