I am new to the Mini side of the house so I can offer help for my past.

If the Mini has a sensor that tells you have a lamp out this may end up coming on as the HID bulbs draw far less power. 35W on startup and usually 23-29W during normal operation. Where the Halogen bulbs will draw 55W all the time.

When you install I would highly recommend doing this the correct way. RELAYS!!! Do not just go with the plug and play option. This may also help in avoiding any "light out" warning.
