And the one we talking about here is the cree led which is more brighter than the ordinary led and with build-in resistors, so you wont get any errors message

Installed the lights from the eBay auction. They work like a champ and no error light! I'll get pics when it gets dark.

Can confirm, these Ebay LEDs (link in 1st post) are good guys. They are brighter than the cheaper Festoon LEDs from www.autolumination.com which many guys bought long back for $6/led
