[bazam83]

I just finished installing new morimoto HIDs and i cant help not to notice those two black lines in the middle of the car
could they be projector lens fault or a problem from the h11 bulb ?

So that’s the morimoto projector and morimoto hid bulbs? I’d send that pic to their support.

So you just installed morimoto hid bulbs into the stock reflector/headlight. Does your bulb look like this with the support running down the length of the bulb on one side? My guess is that your dark line on the road is from that support. I don't know if it's possible to flip the bulb 180 so that the line isn't visible on the road, but I would look and see if you can rotate the bulb in the back of your headlight. I haven't seen how the h11 bulb base is setup from morimoto to know if it can be rotated at all.

You should be able to rotate the bulb so the electrode faces down. That may eliminate the black lines.

morimoto says they have another h11 bulb called h11b
it will eliminate the dark shadow

they're swapping your order out?

problem solved
the h11b bulb as the filament facing downwards so the black lines vanished

Did they let you just swap bulbs?

yes
