Do I get code if the headlight bulbs are out?

I just noticed that the driver side light is out.
Do I get code or warnings? I know I get warnings when tail light is out.
Also my car came with xenon option, but the bulb is yellow?
Any advice on this?

Thank you.

The bulb check could have been coded out. Many people who install aftermarket bulbs/LEDs get the initial flicker on the bulbs from the car sending the check signal. And they code out that functionality to stop the flicker. But that also disables the checks. So you won't get notified when they are out.
