So next is to replace the headlights with a white light and the front fogs, Any Suggestions
please let use know what happens in 3 months time.
7 years ago I try the LED and got error codes and they burn out after a few months.

Hobbo, for that first LED, all those side LEDs are basically useless. The reason I say that is because the ring is only receiving light input from a forward facing source. If you take the headlights apart, you'll know what I mean. It's that big SMD itself that's producing that amount of light.

But yah, like Pingu said, I have tried LED bulb replacements when I had pre-LCI halogen, and those little bastards always burn out.
