viable options for led headlights (no bulb out error)

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with high output led bulbs that wont set off a bulb out error. i have a 2010 mcs and have been looking for a while not and have had no results. just wondering if anyone has had any luck or has tried anything.

Do you have high output led bulbs installed or just asking for experience?
Cold and Warm check disabled can be an option since you could see if the bulb is burned.

But I prefer quality over some bulbs claimed as "canbus ready".

Asking for and suggestions. Have halogen bulbs still, but would like more output than I currently have. Don't feel like getting the computer reflashed to allow for the oem hid setup. Just trying to get around the annoying bulb out error.

OK, I understand.
I think what you need is good quality LEDs bulb (made for car headlights) and resistors for every bulb (the resistor is to avoid the cold check and warm check warnings).

Maybe you could see flashes in the LEDs when it are turned off (cold checks), but surely you will be using the headlights all the time (in some places it is mandatory to use the low beams while driving).

Waiting like you for somebody with experience on LEDs (I have upgraded to HID).
