led do not work. The leds that fit are not bright. THe ones that are bright dont fit. U should rather get HID DRLs instead with relays.

Looking to buy H7 leds to replace the nasty OEM ones..... does it need resistors to rid off the errors? It is for DRL (mandatory in Canada).

Me too, however it seems that it's a power issue as it will always only be 55w of power. I've tried the "white bulbs" etc. and it always shows ugly yellow. Hate them so much I blacked out the light sensor so the headlights are on all the time now, instead of running DRL.
