Ya... but in the US if they cant trace it specifically to those lights and resistors they cant blame the mod for it. Say my engine was leaking oil they cant say your resistors is causing that... or if they can I can easily remove it...
Yes they can If it is not mod from BMW dealer, then they have the right to void the warrnty and refuse to fix your car in HK unless you pay for it.

Guys, I just checked out Audi's new showroom in Admiralty and the new TT also just arrived. Man, I must say, it's a really nice car. The interior is (sad to say) much better made and finished than BMW's. The seat is so comfortable and gives plenty of support. All in all, it's a very futuristic looking sports car. The 2.0TT is selling at $460K, does 0-100 in 6.4s !
I must have a look at the weekend

Maybe that's the reason you said the LED is not bright enough! Try smaller resistor.
Maybe, let's see what happens.

Oh btw, according to the Audi TT brochure, the DSG gearbox does 0-100km FASTER than the normal maunual gearbox (6.4 vs 6.8s) ! Wow !

Yes it is very good that why the next F10 is going to have 1 in it in 2010 and they are developing the new gear box now and the next face lift for the 3 will have it. I think.

WOW AWESOME! I think I would really like DSG... or BMWs ZSG... especially since I already like SMG so much and its an out dated transmission...

Which will you buy, the BMW Z4 2.5? or the Audi TT 2.0T? They're about the same price and performance in all aspects.
