Can corning and fog lights be changed to LED/HID with no codes?

I am looking to change my H3 cornering lights and H8 fog lights. I am not happy with the different colors they have from the headlights and angel eyes.

I have 2011 N55 E92 335xi coupe LCI.

Will I be able to install either LED/HID bulbs as a direct plug and play without throwing codes?

I have searched and found many different variations of answers, a lot of them revolving around the e90 Pre-LCI conversion talk.

IF you can please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

You will probably have to stick with an h3 bulb, but you can get an LED bulb to match the color of your HID's. I would consult Jeff at top gear solutions. He helped me out a ton. The bulbs he sells should not throw codes, but if they do, you would just buy a simple resistor off amazon for $5-6.00 and install them on the power and ground lines going to the bulb.
