Do aftermarket HID's cause a bulb out warning?
My 2009 Clubman S came with the halogen non-projector housings and I've been looking to upgrade. Is anyone running aftermarket HID ballasts/bulbs or know if it causes bulb out warnings? I've replaced the parking lights and license plate lights with LED bulbs with canbus and they work great with no bulb out warnings.
Here is what I am looking to purchase: Projector housing - http://www.protuninglab.com/07micoeuhapr.html HID Ballasts and bulbs - http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W DDM Tuning sells canbus error free kits too but are twice the price. I wasn't sure if it was necessary or not. |
You will need an error free bulb if you go to LED ( canbus ) or Xenon with resistor , for a car set up for Halogen. And projectors like below for Xenon or LED not to blind on coming.
I would go projector halogen and either choose halogen for no bulb out, or convert to xenon or LED with the spyder projector Xenon. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...o-14-base.html https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...8a4ba5c08d.jpg |
I know this doesnt answer your questions, but personally I wouldn't do it. Running HIDs in our reflector headlights is terrible. Scattered light with lots of black spots. Will blind other drivers and get less output on the road for you.

Yes if you choose LED, if you choose Xenon retrofit , you will also need a resistor.
