I have just installed LED headlight bulbs in my F56 with Halogens. I coded the car via bimmercode to tell the computer that it has LED bulbs in it. This has worked to eliminate flickering, however it still throws high and low beam malfunction codes, which I expected. I also purchased a set of canbus resistors to get rid of the flickering and error codes. However, the resistors still cause the lights to flicker while driving, while they don't flicker without the resistors. The resistors also don't get rid of all of the codes. I am only getting an error for the right high beam malfunction with the resistors installed, vs an error for all 4 when not. My question is, can I just clear the codes and not have to worry about it? Also, is there a way to clear them for free, without having to purchase an app? Thanks in advance!

 

Anyone?

 

Cheap LED replacements? Cheap resistors with different values?

 

They weren't expensive, but they had excellent reviews on amazon.

 

Did you code cold monitoring and warm monitoring to off on low and high beams?

I did not. Would this prevent the codes from happening?

 

Good chance it will. It's in Bimmercode easy mode for each lamp.

The cold monitor checks to make sure the bulb is there during startup, the warm monitor checks the bulb during operation.
