Default Flash to pass with HID kit & Flicker at Car startup

Hi all,

I searched but couldn't find an answer to my question.

For those with HID kits, how did you get the flash to pass to work without having the HID bulbs turn off and on for short durations? [update: duh! didn't know the lows and highs can work at the same time]

Also, I noticed that when I start the car in the dark with the headlight switch to "auto," the HID's kind of flicker once as the engine is cranked. Is this bad for the bulbs?

Thanks!

After a lot of research, I found I can use a time delayed relay which activates after 10 secs of being triggered.
