What state are they illegal in, all 50? thanks
Not true. They take a few seconds to warm up to full intensity once they are ignited, but not half an hour like you heard. The bulbs I have are rated for 20,000 hours, so they will outlast a halogen bulb, but cost a lot more to replace.
All aftermarket HID kits are illegal in all 50 states.
