has any one tried the H7 led replacement bulbs for headlamps? these are the driving lamps and highbeam flashers. they come in white and amber. i thought amber may look good with the eyebrows and signals.



i believe they are only applicable on 2004-2006 models

Amber isn't legal in most states. Better check before you install amber lights.

+1 most state outlaw blue or red coming from the front and blue from the rear. Id be willing to bet you'll get a error message with these bulbs though....probably need the resistor

your right i didnt think of the error message. only thing that may work out for me is that i had the driving lamps turned off at the dealer so it shouldnt send a message all the time, maybe only when i flash. thanx
