what is your bike? i own a pulsar 200 and it has a time delay mechanism. i want to install an HID light but all the mechanics in my town says that if they will install the HID, there should be another switch and that it cannot pass to its original switch on turning the headlight on and using the passing switch. pls help.. thanks!
To answer the purpose. On a motorcycle, you turn on the key which turns on the lights, and then you push the start button which will turn off the lights while the engine is starting, then the lights will turn back on. This on and off process is bad for HID bulbs and ballasts so the timer relay will keep the HID's off for a set amount of time until the motorcycle start process is done.
Wow, I forgot about this video. I'm doing a retrofit on my new bike and was looking to see if I listed the info on this relay which obviously I didn't so sorry to those who asked. I just checked out and am going with MrJohnny's advice of the WolstenTech timer relay (Google it).
you should be fine without the relay as long as you let hid's warm up for 5 to 8 sec before starting....

What is the purpose to the relay/timer? I understand that it helps with eliminating a battery drain?

The WolstenTech time delay relay is also a good way to accomplish this.
