Exclamation Led H6W Problem!

Hey, im from Lima Peru and a newbie here in the forum!
Maybe someone could help me about my LED H6W problem.
I own a MB E420 1997 and i changed the H6W bulb that came in the highway lights (small circle headlight) with this product:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2pcs-BAX9S-H6W-6...3A1%7C294%3A50
it work fine and the car get a clean better looks... but when i want to start the car inmediately the dash panel tell me that a LIGHTS FAILURE or BULB FAILURE occurs or something like that, i cant remember so well the message. So, i have to install some type or resistor?

All ideas are appreciated.

(I apologize for my english grammar, remember that english is my 2nd language)

Led's in

car applications are hard to balance,since they run in a very controlled voltage range.Alternators put out V over a wide range from what an Led perceives.To eliminate the lamp warning and also prevent Led failure in just a few weeks to months,you will need to find the Fv and the miliamps and balance them with a resistor of the correct fractional watts and Ohms.
See if you can contact the seller for the Led data and read up on Led circuit building.Or get the bulb data,and I can punch in the values.
Or change back to H6W city bulbs

No need to "apologize for my english grammar"
You are doing far better than some of the Yahoos

that is a sad comment on our school systems.

Thanks for the answer!

If anyone know an aftermarket dealer that sell the exact H6W light bulb in white color to replace the OEM yellow one..please tell me!

Thanks in advance

Philips BlueVision H6W's look slightly whiter compared to the OEM bulbs but they're crazy expensive and don't last longer.
