Can you code a slight headlamp delay?
I am curious whether anyone knows how to code a slight delay in the headlights so they start one second or a couple seconds after the starter motor has started?
I have been looking through the system and have not found anything yet. I have a physical work around in the mail but would prefer not to have a slight delay on other occasions when the lights turn on. Essentially the battery cannot take both the starter and the HID kit pulling from it at the exact same time and the ballasts shut down. I just need literally a one second delay. Would appreciate any direction on this is anyone knows whether this is possible. Thanks. |

I really highly doubt that that is possible.
Shouldn't have HID's in a halogen housing anyway Look, I know they suck, I had them on my last two cars, but blinding other people is not the solution.

Yes, that effectively stops the problem, however, it requires you doing it every time and then activating the auto headlight function after if you want to use it. I have ordered a programmable delay switch from wolsten tech that allows me to program in a delay from 1/4 second to 2 minutes, but that will also delay the auto headlight signal. I was just hoping their was a timing code in the system that would allow a user to program in the timing of the initial signal to the headlight, there are all sorts of delay codes that effect the timing of the start-up but nothing that seems to effect the headlight signal. It's not a big deal I was more curious than anything else.
@smithF32 I am not ignoring your comment, and your point is taken, but I do like HID lights on this model and I debating pulling the trigger on the projector housing and swapping mine out, I wanted to get the system working as close to stock as possible first before investing in new housings. |

Yeah, its annoying to have to move the headlight switch every time but its also annoying to be in front of a person who is driving at night with HID's in a halogen housing.... ask me how I know...
