    would you guys take out the HIDs if you were bringing your car in for warranty work? Don’t want them saying that’s the cause of he problem. Recently had the low oil pressure and high ATF temp warning come on. On the dash. The oil level was fine. Was reading through some threads that mentioned a dent to the tranny pan or a bad crack position sensor will throw these lights

    In the US I'm pretty sure that vehicle warranty's are only voided if you change the actual parts. You haven't changed anything related to the issues you are having, so your warranty is unaffected by your headlights.

    They would have to prove direct link I think.

    I'd only consider it if it was related to the system in question.

    Headlights for low oil pressure? No. Headlights for a CANBUS issue? Maybe.

    If is not hard or impossible, make it stock as much as possible.
    Also wash it, clean it inside, it lets them know you care about the truck.

    Leave them on. I would love to see how they would try to come up with a story of how your HIDs caused your fluid temperature issues. These trucks also dont run on a canbus system if I understand correctly so there shouldn't be any correlation between the two.

    Engine sensors read voltage. If you HIDS changed the voltage load on your vehicle, technically they could cause an erratic reading. Not likely, but possible.

    I have HIDs, custom lights and wiring, rock sliders welded to my frame and they've never said anything about my parts before and I'm getting a new radio put in next week no questions asked.
