Yes, much the same as afterfit HIDs - most are illegal, and potentially pose a far greater hazard than LED DRLs.
Robert, I thought the tone of your posts was informative rather than confrontational, and agree that people can make their own decisions armed with all the correct information.
You do have to be careful in Halfords - I've noticed quite a few lighting items that state "not legal for road use".

Synchronisity or what, stopped at a Police and VOSA (or whatever they're called these days) vehicle check point today in sunny Ravensthorpe... can't think why it's one of their favourite check points... We chatted about my car, the extra pack etc... and I went on my way... I'm not in jail and my car hasn't been crushed.

To add some sense back here, I'm in no way advocating changing any bulb that is for lighting up the road ahead in poor light... As I have previously said, I wouldn't modify headlights (dipped and full) and fog lamps as these are specifically designed to illuminate the road ahead. DRLs aren't... full stop.

Anyway the Bobby and Vehicle standards man liked my car and I do too.

Glad you had no problems. At least your modification goes on / off / and dims as it should. The strip-led, on full all the time, modifications are much more likely to attract attention. I take it you did not volunteer that you had non "E" marked lamps fitted .

I tried this, went direct to Luffy as i am in Australia and cannot use Amazon UK.

Items in this shipment

2 pieces of 15 SAMSUNG High Power 2835 SMD LED 380 (P21/5W) 1157 7528 BAY15d Light bulb 15W white × 1 LED-1157SS15W

Installed the bulbs and they look great however I still got errors on the dash. Am I doing something wrong. This is my third set of LED bulbs now and still leaving me frustrated. Please somebody HELP!

Not enough resistance. You need to get an load resistor to go across the wires.

No, the LEDs have too much resistance (too little current) google Ohms law and series / parallel resistors.

What warning lights are you actually getting?

robotdancer did you get any errors on your dash fitting these?

No, they work fine, dip when indicating etc. Had car services recently, no stored errors picked up by the dealer either.

Cheers robotdancer - just ordered a pair as we now have a nice Cross Plus on our drive I like you hated the yellow DRL halogens.....

Just a quick thanks to robotdancer - my Bulbs arrived - fitted and they are perfect! Why Fiat never fitted these as standard I'll never know - Looks sooo much better / completely modern and work perfectly - no Canbus errors - go off when you indicate etc etc.
I'll add a photo asap but thanks for the info/link etc.

Anyone found any error-free LED's for the number plate lights?
