Those are actually turning on a bit slow, mine ignite a lot faster. I guess that's why those kits are so cheap lol

Mine are full brightness in less than 5 seconds. Either it's cold where he is, or his camera is over compensating for the extra light entering the lens.

Mine light up in 2 - 3 seconds, but my ballast are not digital and I paid $350 for them two years ago. These kits may use a bit lower voltage or current for the ignition than mine. If that's the case your bulbs will last longer, the ignition is what kills them.
