higher power on the corner bulbs next to the headlight

i just fixed my bulbs my cutting the little nub and rotating then 180 degrees they are a lot brighter thanks guys for telling my how to do it. but i noticed that the glass gets hot now b/c the double filament is always on. my question is: b/c of the glass getting hot can a problem arise and can my wires be affected due to this change or will the only thing that could happen is the bulbs will blow out someone please help if you ever experienced a problem or know anything about this thanks

I had apc bulbs in mine and they look kinda greenish too. I took them out. Before those I had polarg hyperwhites and they were sick. Now I have regular amber bulbs in there since I bought my Hanabi HID kit. The contrast is great b/w the blue and amber!
