Program Reset Needed after changing Headlamp Bulb ?
I am considering to replace the original Halogen Bulb to a brigther one , roughly from 55-60w to 100-110w type (not HID).

Do you think the program in the ECU need to be reset ? Please advise because I am reluctunt to send my car for resetting as I just paid some sum for that few weeks ago.

Of course I am aware of that and gonna to change/add a relay, and a different bulb connector to withstand the high heat.

Will try to post the pic once I get it installed.

Thanks for the info
