HIDs heating up takes like 5 seconds at the most. And they're still pretty dang bright before they're heated up.

^This. I'd say about 3-5 seconds for full warmup. When they very first come on they are about as bright as my LEDs were.

A little update. I checked the bulbs today and yet are still firmly in place. Unless I do some crazy off roading I don't think I have to worry about the epoxy coming loose.

All day today my backup sensors worked fine. I'm not sure what the deal is with them not working some of the time. Maybe it was jus a fluke yesterday.

Yep! And then a few second later they're super bright.

Damn man, that's so sick... I just wish I had the balls to actually buy HID's bc everyone is telling me that they go out in such a short time and I don't want to waste my money.

That is complete bs, I have had mine for awhile now and still going strong, and Im sure there is others who have had them for as long if not longer than stockers

Yeah. They only go out quickly if you have bad wiring or something blows the bulb. Pretty sure HIDs are supposed to last longer than stock bulbs will.

No lol my LEDs for the interior lights are plenty bright for me.

Not sure who all is telling you this, but they need to do a little more research.

They will last you a long time don't worry.
