Easiest way is just put a switch in the earth wire. Current draw is not the issue as thats why power to the light circuit is cut whilst in start mode .......... it's the on / off effect from this that kills HID globe life.
Or simply use the start procedure as Beau has listed

though I do not think I would be brave to ride at night outside of the city. Cool mod nevertheless.
Question regarding the on-off switch - dosen't you light go off by itself when you start the motor? Mine does
Not too sure, Never checked, But it stays off now til I want it on. Didnt involve chopping any wires, so come selling time I can eaily refit originals and no one would be any the wiser.
As for night riding I'm moving onto acerage in May which involves regular riding through the stix in the dark to get to and from work. Brighter the better

See I had no idea about that.......learn something new here all the time
Either way I prefer the option of having it off or on when I want it

I like that sequence a lot
And as Peter is pointing out - way to extend the life of a HID globe or rather to stop killing it. Thanks mate. Now I have to just order the kit

I have a +80% Light, H7 Phillips from Autopro for my low beam now.
Just make sure you remember to switch your low beam HID on after starting her up during the day Pommie, or this could be your next victim that will make you one;
Shi* happens.

They would say your light was too bright you blinded them and they couldn't see you ......
