minutes? mine take max 30 seconds :/ i have digital ballast (most common nowadays)
unless you have analog ballast,
8000K is way too blue for manufacture
BMW and Cadillac use 4300 or 5000K max

This. This is why I'm going to take pictures of my HID'* tonight in the dark so you can see how 5000k look at night from the front and from inside the car.

its not always about the error
some DRLs run off lower voltage than night time lights, most GM cars dont have that problem. Halogen bulbs dont "need" to run off 12v, but HIDs do.
you run lower voltage on a halogen itll go dimmer
you run lower voltage on HIDs itll flicker then shut off
so if you dont install the harness you might have a flickering problem in the day time, i never had it with the 7 GM cars i owned

Don't run HID'* on the high beams in a Bonne and you won't have that problem. It'* only the newer GM'* that run the low beams as DRL'*. 06+ Impala/Monte Carlo'* are the ones I know for sure.

The way my DRLs work is that I have to phically turn them on. It'* half position on the pull ****. Not sure if they're high or low.
