Headlights don't get dim, they go out...didn't Triumph think of this? My Goldwing lights go out when the starter is engaged also. It just seems silly that they would wire this thing to have that draw on the battery from the lights and starter at the same time. Would that not GREATLY reduce bulb life?
I seen to remember reading here somewhere that not all year R3's need the fix.

I will answer your question with a question for you, Do you want be 50 miles from nowhere when your bike sputters and dies and you find red hot wires hanging below your ignition switch??
The headlights switch of while you are staring only leaving the pilot lights on the problem is not the starting, it is the constant high load of the power for the headlight coming thru the ign switch. With the EB or homemade relay harness you only end up with 3amps instead of the 20 + going thru there so without the load the ign switch no overheating
I made mine and have made them for a few of my mates in fact I will be putting one in the post for Mitch today cost of parts is only $40 compared to more than twice that from EB the other advantage of doing this is your lights will be brighter cos the power comes directly from battery
