LEDs for H3 lights (cornering lights/fog lights) - Has anyone used them
 
Has anyone used these and have they thrown any errors.
If not these same ones, have you used a similar solution (replacing H3 bulbs with LED style lights so that there is no error on instrument cluster of in Durametric program).

Just curious. Thanks.

LINK TO LIGHTS - just one sample of many - there are a lot of these

In the fogs im sure they wouldn't bring up an error message till you turned them off. It happens with the HID's in my fog lights. I would like to change the cornering lights on mine,the yellow just doesn't look good to me. Let us know if you go for these lights.

...yeah, I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin'...lol

I will take a peek at what options I see and will then make a choice. Will update if I go for it too. In the mean time if anyone else has LEDs for corner lights or fog lights, let us know here.
I replaced the corner lights (both at same time) with the Ultra brights, and one went out already (about 5 months - unacceptable).

I have tried LEDs in the cornering light positions, and they did not work at all. They would need a resistor in series if I remember right, and I haven't come across correct ones yet.

Cornering light are dimmed, and you can not dim LED without controller as I know. So as I know they should work for lights but not in cornering.

Anyway, If someone find out If anything else than standard bulb work in cornering lights, I would really like to know

I think the corner lightrs are on/off action, as when I see the headlights on, corner light is off, and turns on when the steering wheel achieves a certain angle either direction.
Under normal operation I did not see the H3 corner light on when steering wheel straight, thus I assume the bulb is on/off action.

I don't know If they are any different types of light controller or maybe different coding or something else, but I can say for sure that mine are not just on/off function. When I turn lights on, cornering lights working at around 20% power, but when I turn steering wheel one of them start working with 100% power.
