Long "warm up" is something that you will experience with "digital" ballasts which is design to distribute start up load to protect your vehicle harness. With digital ballasts you don't need relays, start up load won't exceed 7-8 Amps.
Most of newer chinese ballasts (cheap ones) have pretty good reliability now, I installed 6 pairs with zero problems so far. The key is to buy ones with lifetime warranty.

Cheap ballasts can cause the lights to take a long time to 'warm up' and they can be tempermental and unreliable.
I may just try to find some upgraded halogen bulbs rather than fool around with junk ballasts, etc...
So, all that said, if you do find a high quality solution that works, please post it here.
