They're HIDs not LEDs... And don't HID bulbs have to warm up to reach optimum performance? How long are you leaving your reverse lights on? HAha

It takes about two seconds for them to reach proper temperature. I'm not one to throw it in reverse and womp on the gas peddle, so no worries here ;-)

Never knew HID's existed for reverse lights. Could you take a picture of what it looks like at night? Oh by the way nice Canadian flag on the window lol.
