As above, I know the check light comes on the HID's, but do these in line resistors actually work to cancel them out.

On every BMW I've fitted HID's to, the bulb check system has worked perfectly.
The only time I have had a low beam warning LED come on is when I had a ballast fail

Of course you have to disconnect the dim dip resistors (if fitted). HID's can't possibly work correctly with these connected.

These cancellers are for newer cars E46s etc to stabalise the voltage to stop them from strobing.

and if you can, get some facelift lights (either smiley or bullseye) because they have better control over the light pattern.
