Assuming you mean the main halogen bulbs, I think they are min 55w. So even a cheapo set shouldn't cause a canbus issue. Are you sure it's the headlights that are the cause?

You didn't go for LED bulbs did you? As they can cause all sorts of errors as they draw less current. I usually go for Osram night-breakers or blue.

Having tested quite a few, the best results have been with the Ring + 150 set, though the Philips X-treme vision +130 close second, and Osram Nightbreakers third.
Ring also seem to last the longest. |
