I have noticed that my engine starts the easiest, just after the glow plug light goes out. If I wait any longer to start the engine after the glow plug light goes out, then the engine takes longer to start. It's as if the glow plug continues heating after the light goes out and makes it too hot and hence harder to start the longer you wait.
Should you always wait for the glow plug light to turn off before starting even when engine is hot.
After the light goes out do the glow plugs continue heating.
Do the glow plugs not even operate unless the engines computer tells them too. Eg. if the engine is hot the plugs may not come on.
When engine is hot is it best to wait for the glow plug light to go out anyway, because the plugs are using battery power and if you crank while they are on, then its too much current for the battery and not good for battery life etc.
