The aftermarket H7 HID bulb has a wire run from the tip of the bulb to the bottom. When on, it projects the shadow of the wire to the ground, one on each side.

No overheating/melting issues within the housing as far as I can tell.

You can install resistors to the side markers to remove the warning. How about license plate light? Planning to change it to white?

I changed all the light including the fog, license plate city light and all the interior.
Side marker is the only error I got. I don't know why.... Could you send me the link of resistors?

I think you can get it from RadioShack. But I am not sure what ohm. I am not really good at electronics.

Install/turn the bulb 180 degree from its orginal position. You have to trim/cut a little plastic on the base of the bulb in order to fit it in the socket. This will remove the shadow.

BINGO! thats all you needed to do. i am also playing with washers to get a better cut off with more colours. i find the cut off to be very dull right now.

maybe i should get some raptors. stupid ddm ballasts always throw me an error. i am guessing the raptors are one unit while the old ddm ones are ballast and ignitors separate?

The DDM Raptors have ballast and ignitors separate.

that is very weird. do you have the bulb out warning eliminators? i have them installed and all they do is keep my voltage constant. maybe i should purchase a set of raptor ballasts and give them a try. thanks for your help
