Question CODING: Headlights

Hi Guys

I need your opinion about coding headlights. The best answer would be to just go to the car and code it to see what happens, but I'm unable to do that because of the type of headlights I've got.

It's about upgrading P21W halogen bulbs to LEDs and coding them as LEDs to avoid fitting of resistors or bulb errors if you don't fit resistors.

Mark and David want to do this mod, but both of them got the Bi-Xenons with P21W halogen, but no AFS.

DRL LED coding is available only for Bi-Xenon headlights with AFS.

SO, how about if you code your headlights as LED DRL with AFS if you don't have AFS???

Mark, has all the wiring in place because guy who sold him car downgraded his headlights from Bi-Xenons LED DRL with AFS to just Bi-Xenons with P21W
...Will his lights work properly??
...Will he get a no bulb error for cornering light??

David, has his original Bi-Xenons with P21W so no AFS wiring and he would like to fir, same as Mark, LED P21W and code it as LED with with AFS, which he hasn't got.
...Will his lights work properly??
...Will he get a no bulb error for cornering light??

Many many thanks guys
