Well when i first installed them they actually blew there was a 9A fuse in it. There were back up 15s so i put a 15 in and currently allows both to start up at the same time if necessary.

I would say your are not getting enough voltage right after start up. I added a time delay on my HID's that I put on the Busa. Many others have done the same thing to prevent the stobe effect. Another solution would to replace your batter with one with more CCA. It's worth a shot...

Relays are good, you can delay it from coming on till after startup and also wire it straight to the battery so that you do not have issues w/ melting wiring or blowing fuses.
