That they only come on when the engine is on. Not in ignition because I dont want any power drain on start up.

When the key is turned to "ON", the entire vehicle receives power.
When the key is turned to "START", only the starter, ecu and distributor recieve power. Thus, nothing should be draining your battery while you are starting the car. But the timer idea sounds like a feasible option. You could build one using a 555 timer, a couple counter ICs and a transistor. |
