[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 535867, member: 3828"] Hmmm. On my Saab 9-3 with HIDs the lights fire up at key-on and stay on during cranking. I'm guessing this works OK because the HID firing current required is more than the run voltage. You might be able to do the same thing on an FJR by rewiring the HID relay to a switched 12V source instead of using the headlight connector signal. But the added load of the headlights during cranking may be a problem for the little battery. I assume that is why they designed the lights to come on only when the engine is running. [/QUOTE]
