I have it too and I like to get rid of it 
Some people have fixed it but can't find any write out about it.
Is there a how-to on this forum somewhere?

You have to open the projectors and physically block off the portion that creates those lights.

After all the recent threads, I just figured I would compile everything into one resource thread for people to use and share their upgrades. It is also a great place to ask questions as I have dealt with about every HID setup on the market, and all the questions can be in one thread for future...

Those artifacts are caused by the replacement lamps.
The factory headlights reflectors are engineered to have the lamp filaments at a very specific position in relation to the reflector to get the correct light beam shape. As soon as the filaments position is changed, the beam goes out of whack, and you get weird s*** like that.
As a previous poster mentioned, you can attempt to blank off the offending part of the lamp that's causing it, but a better solution would be to buy a Dot approved replacement kit that replaces the entire headlight assembly that uses the type of lamp you wish to use.
