I have tried the aftermarket LED's on both settings and have seen no difference with either errors or brightness. I originally thought this might have an effect/change on the "Power" sent to the bulb but I am not sure on this issue. Still no problems with either cold or warm checks.
Yeah, I saw that in the spreadsheet. I was definitely going to set each socket for LED. If so, should I leave the cold and warm checks enabled then?

Im only speaking about cars that have halogens, you have factory xenons, yours are prob. set diff. the changes i made were, AL, set to Xenons 100%, FL to 100%, POS to 100% and the fog lights, forgot which lettering they were, but changed to 100%, the low beams were my main task, because there was no way for me to have my hid's on without flickering, so changing the AL to 100% fixed the flickering issue.

No, you will still get the error. Even factory LED's have the checks set to NA, I verified this with my F10.

Now I understand, thanks for clarifying.

Inner brake lamps are H21W (not P21W)

While making my first mod this evening installing new control element light switch to enable rear fog lamps (really easy), I realized the manual was not accurate on the inner brake lamps on the rear. I thought they were P21W, but they're actually smaller lamps, H21W. So, the extra two red LED lamps I purchased for those two bulbs will clearly not fit and don't see a replacement anywhere. Not a biggie, though, since they're only used for rear fog lamps (thanks to new switch this evening) and hard braking (brake force display).

So, unless Super Bright LEDs takes two of them back, I'll be looking to sell them. They won't get here until Friday though.

Yeah, I left the inner brake lights the stock bulbs. I can live with those ones not being LED as they don't turn on much, and I think incandescent bulbs would work better as fogs anyway.

Are you sure the 65 isn't Hex, which is 100 Decimal, which would mean if you changed it to 100 Hex you would be driving the lights at 256%.
