1) HID bulbs take a moment to fully ignite and reach their desired light output. In situations where you need to flash someone your HID high beams will not be very functional.

I like my 55 watt HID high beams for flashing people, they give a quick, bright @$$ flash when first ignited.

2) It is strenuous on the components to have them turned on/off repeatedly ie: flashing people.

I have this kit:
eBay Motors: 55 watt DIGITAL HID kit H8, REAL LIFETIME WARRANTY! (item 180220099148 end time May-29-08 22:34:46 PDT)

they're fully digital and feature "hot-restrike" to protect your HIDs when you shut them off then turn them back on before the bulbs fully cool. Plus this seller is located in the US rather than China like every other kit on ebay, which makes exchanging bad ballasts/bulbs through warranty much easier and quicker, plus you can't beat the lifetime warranty (of course if the company goes belly up the warranty is worthless, but I haven't had any problems with this kit yet and plan to buy 2 more kits for my high beams and fogs)
