make sure that you are nut using 1157 (US spec) bulbs. They are slightly larger and seem to be higher wattage. The bulbs have to be matched side to side for the pictogram to work properly. If you don't want to melt your lens, use the european bulbs. They are a bit more expensive. The base of the bulb is labeled with the wattage as is the cartridge on the 9k. IIRC, the brake lights are 5W/21W. I have seen Osram and Sylvania in the parts stores labeled as european bulbs. These are what you want.
