fitted LEDs to fog lights....now errors on dashboard, but they still work.

AS the title says. Is there a way to tell the car that the fog lights are fine and not give the error any more?

Cheers

OK..... what hardware and software do I need to connect the car to my laptop to do this coding.
I am new to BMW (actually first time I've owned a car or bike with fuel injection) so any pointers in the right direction appreciated...... computers I'm fine with - been working with them for 30 years.

That's normal, you need it coded out now.

Your best bet is to find someone who already does BMW coding.

To get the software and set it up yourself is difficult, and even more so if you're new to BMW's.

Can anyone recommend a good tuner shop in brisbane for harvyh where he can get the coding done??

Unfortunately it's not free for android either - around $60 for the full version as well.

THanks guys, I've decided to fit Super White Xenons in place of the LEDs until I can get the coding sorted.
