I was warned by others and should of listened.

Undy,

I wish I would have known this problem before hand as I would have stayed with stock lamps as well. I would have just adjusted them low and used the high beams all the time. I'm going to try a replacement candle to see if that has any effect. If not, I guess I’ll do what I should have with the non HID beams. The only draw back is the bright hi beam indicator on the dash which I will have to darken.
