Best switch for the HID light

[djh3]

HID kit came with a relay & harness. Before I installed toggle switch, I supplied power to relay (to turn on) from my aux fuse box which is in turn supplied power after a relay is turned on with the key. Does that sort of make sense. Anyways I installed my toggle switch in the ground side of the realy. That was easiest I thought. I just pulled the ground lug out of the harness, plugged into one side of switch and installed the other side of switch wire into the harness plug/relay.

Basicly I'm trying to figure out how many wires I'm going to have torun back up the handlebars and under the fairing. I like to hide it in some black tubing like it is now to look more factory.

In you directions you say I need a resistor but didnt mention where it was installed. If I was to guess solder it to the power side of the LED and then solder that to the switch? I dont want to cut into the wiring on the bike. I should be able to just tap in where my power comes into the HID relay and switch it instead I think. OK not the greatest but maybe this will see if Im on the right track.

I was just on e-bay looking at LED lights, the type that are a replacement for a standard type bulb, not the high dollar whole nechallada thing. Anyways did run across a store there that had time delay relays. Went anything like from 0-30 sec to 0-10 min to as high as 0-60 min. I would think you could set say a 0-10 min one to like a min and that would give you plenty of time to start etc.

But I bought the parts to make Flyin's blinky LED warning light switch.
