These bulbs are not CANBUS compliant. You'll probably need to wire a resistor in series to increase the resistance for the bulb check circuit not to throw an error.

In the eBay listing read the note in RED.

Yep and sometimes you can still get an error.

See if others can suggest a brand that works.

These are the only ones that I have bought and they do work without error (not sure if they are the style you're looking for):

I used them in my factory foglight uppers and have since swapped out the fog lights for the LED units from MINI. If your interested I'll sell the 4 pack of bulbs to you for $5 shipped.
