Default highs

So I have a set of HID Fogs and Lows that I purchased from another vendor some time ago. They do not sell the highs. From everything I have read, highs were not recommended because of the time it takes for the HID's to warm up/light up. Usually takes anywhere from 5-10 seconds for full light output from my Fogs and Lows. Are these a newer technology in which the light doesn't take time to warm up? I would hate to switch from low to high beam and have to wait see! I can't imagine you would sell these if that was the case. This would be a major safety issue right?

If you could explain a little more about these that would be great.
Also because I have HID Fogs and Lows already would the highs that you sell still be able to be plug and play? I am assuming yes.

Thanks
Jeff

I'd like to know how you are getting around the HID coming up to full light output. I'd appreciate if you are going to sell the product to us that your specialist comes on her and informs us. May help your sales.

All Hid have a slight delay. Our 55w upgrade is very quick . other options would be a hi-4 harness which are available on the forum. For 99%, the kit fires fast enough.

Id love to see a video of how quickly they illuminate. This is subjective and I'd have to purchase to be disappointed.

Can someone who has purchased these please PM me and let me know how quickly they light up. I'm having a bit of an issue finding out otherwise.

When you switch from low beam to high beam and vice versa .... will the bulbs require a small amount of time before they are operational 100% ... because when you first turn your bulbs on ... it takes a moment before they fully are 100%

I had the HID High Beams before. The bulb did not lock into the headlamp. Has this been corrected? I would like to try these again, but I don't want to waste install time. They would always point up. The Low Beams locked in great. Thanks.

Honestly, in 8 years I've never heard of this happening. If you got them from us send them back so we can take a look if they came out of the mold wrong or something. All of our lighting is backed by a lifetime guarantee!
