Hid Headlights.

[Andy1878]

Has anyone fitted HID's to their e46? are they plug and play like in most other cars or do they throw up error messages on the dash? want to upgrade mine as soon as possible not used to having regular dull yellow headlights but don't want to splash out on some to find they don't work, also has anyone changed their 501 sidelight bulbs to LED's and if so did you get canbus free one's or wire a resistor and if so do they work ok?

Cheers guys :D

I had HIDs fitted to me x5 a mate fitted them for me I haven't got any error message on dash

Also I changed all interior lights with blue LEDs they work fine

I think HID's should be error free but just wanted to check, I think its only external leds that produce error messages you can get canbus free leds but the ones I got are not smd and are shaped like original 501's so should give off a more rounded beam of light rather than a direct beam.
