Tigger... they require less constant current than halogen but when they first ignite they require a large amount of power to start up. (or so I understand from everything I've read)

with two balasts coming on when my bike is also trying to start just doesn't sound like a smart plan... so delaying them 10 seconds is worth it... to me at least
