HID + LED Warning lights?!?!

hello,

because i have LED sidelights and HID headlights i get a total of (i think) 6 warning lights:

2xsidelights
2xdipped beam
2xmain beam

anyone know of anyway to turn these warning lights off? I asked BMW but they said they couldn't

Thanks for any help,
Scott

Try these to stop your led-related warnings:
LED Resistor kit (pair). Used with LED bulbs that cause bulb out warnings or flash too fast on indic

The only drawback for sidelights is that because they're on constantly, they will get hot, so be careful about where you mount them or use a heatsink. Maplin or RS, etc also sell similar 10ohm resistors and ones with integral heatsinks which might be better and perhaps easier to mount.

Not sure about the HID solution, but I reckon if you contacted the guys at Autobulbs Direct, they could help as they supply CANBus compatible versions of their kits.
