Default H.I.D in the reverse light 15 watt kit

So i decided to take out my led lights from my reverse light and bought a new h.i.d kit that came out especially for reverse lights they are 15watt bring a mini ballast and the difference is big when i reverse is crispy clear so it wasn't a bad idea considering i only got it for 30 bucks when they retail for 100.

Damn that's bright!

I wonder how long these will last tho. I say that because HID bulbs shouldn't be used for quick on/off purposes.... it shortens the life of the bulb. You usually want to let them warm up completely and stay on for a little bit before turning them back off.
