for what car?

some cars will have issues with LEDs as the system will detect not enough draw, thus, either a bulb is out, or "malfunction"

also, if ur car is new, and under warranty, you may void that part of the warranty if anything goes wrong which u cant remove without looking like its been modified

so does Ford. LOL.

But FYI beware they are not legal unless they are OEM. Don't do it if your car is already a heat score.

ah i c, my friend has a mitsubishi delica without drls and japanoid threw on some led drls to make it comply with canadian regulations.

my vehicle is not a heat score, just a stock nissan rogue, going to drop it 1.5" and call it a day. i like the look of led drls, maybe i shouldnt bother to keep the cops away.

not sure if you actually read the article, but it says that DRLs are now required. NOT LEDs

I did, yes leds are not mandatory, the drls are... But since this is new to Europe and given year, accessible tech and push to save energy, all new drls out of Europe will most likely be led based.
