I've got an HID kit and I don't know who made it. It was on the car when I bought it(Yeah, on the E30). They're in Bosch Ellipsoids

Question is, whenever I turn them on. They go bright for a split second, then dim, then warm up.

Normal? I thought that was what killed HIDs. Would I need a new ballast to fix this before it's too late?

Oh okay, just wanted to make sure they weren't going to die on me prematurely.

They have no labeling of any manufacturer.
