Aftermarket HID kit

I am going to put HIDs on my low bulb and fog lights. I know that I need H7 and H11 convention kits but the dealership told me that the low bulb has sensor that might display message after installed the HID kit. So I just wander does anyone here has solution for that... Thank you

Does your car have the exterior sight and light package, which includes the bulb burnout indicator? If not, it should not be a problem.

If so, ask the HID vendor if they have 55W simulators (HIDs that burn an additinal 20W in a resistor) to simulate the load of a 55W incandescent bulb. If they do, it should not trouble a bulb-burnout indicator.

..H.I.Ds..

Most of the kits come with the ballast that put out and burn at 35 w from 55w which will not throw that code i would go with a EFX .. $175 H.I.D. kit plug and play lifetime warranty on ballast and bulbs 100% shock/dust/water proof check them out at www.euroefx.com
