H7 (low beam) Upgrade?
Hello gentlemen;
Can anyone tell me what H7 bulb you have used to replace the old fashioned straight "H7" with perhaps a LED H7 or something similar that won't cause an error message to show up on my dashboard? I want to upgrade my low beam bulb but do not want the hassle of error messages and the like showing up.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and to all a good night!

If you go the LED route prepare to be disappointed.
Badly engineered LED elements to start with
LED units which run HOT
Units with out-of-place LEDs which put light into the wrong place on the reflector causing bad patterns
Nowhere have I read a review of LED H7's which was good but things do change.
Go name brand...call/visit any seller first.

What georgeandkira said. I did the LED upgrade a few years back. Went through three expensive sets until one finally lasted without degrading noticeably. Yes the whiter light is cool, yes it’s easier to spot my car among others as the beam is unique, NO it gives no better light. Don’t bother, is my suggestion. Oh and the first set burned a hole right through the housing. And the resistors that the first vendor recommended also burned through anything they touched.
