I think that is the timer for your headlights,if you pull the key out before turning you headlights off they stay on right?

Yeah....I just installed HIDs....I turn the key off, and approx. 15-30secs later....there's this clicking noise coming from it....and it doesn't stop until I either turn the lights back on, or disconnect the battery, if my lights don't depend on that to work.,,,I am going to try to bypass it....

I have that plug but not the box and my headlights operate just like normal headlights. try to pull the box out and see if the headlights shut off.
