LED are brighter, whiter, and use less than half the current of the stock H8 halogen. Using 65w bulbs with wiring made to supply 35w stock bulbs could create a problem. I'd also be wary of bulbs claiming to be HID when they are not.

Got a link for me for what you run that also won't cause me a code?

LEDs have to be coded, there's no getting around it. It's not just about throwing warnings, they will blink every minute or so if not coded. I coded all mine with E-Sys, but for now that option isn't available, so you'd need to use Carly or Bimmercode.
