i think leds would be a better solution, since they don't need ballasts to activate.

bulbs/ballasts are gonna wear out within a month or so (depending how many times u go in reverse)

ya its dumb. And actually they sell halogen reverse lights for some bulb types if you want bright. I think even thats going too far cause you maybe reverse for a few secs anyway.

also, I noticed when you put an automatic car into D the reverse lights flash for a quick half second. I suppose that would make the HID's flash.

besides that, its just cool. Someone did it because nobody else did. But if you have 5% tints in the rear and HID's save you from backing into a pole in a dark parking lot I suppose there worth the $200

sounds good and all, but when you hit reverse, wouldn't it take around 40 seconds to warm up properly?

cool, but my PIAA hyper white reverse lights are bright enough for me.
