I would not play with led. Most of them its writen down not for road use. So in the case of a crash your f**** as you are not street legal and its your fault and your insurans will not cover it. In croatia if you have a crash and even when it is not your fault first thing they look at your tires. Are the dimensions in the papers, are they older then 7 yrs and so on.
If you're at fault in an accident, as long as you weren't DUI, DWI, and weren't going 15 times the speed limit on local street. There are no serious repercussions, afterall accident happen.

was the same here 10 yrs ago. Now the f**k with evry single bit. Everything has to be with e norm. Also if somebody put xenon in a non cenon headlight its blinding evrybodi on the road. In that case im realy for banning this. They now look for damn homologation markers on rims
I wouldn't worry about this. We're not in Croatia, at least most of us are in USA.

I was absolutely shocked the first time I removed mine on how easy it was (coming from having to remove the front bumper to change a headlight bulb on my previous vehicle). I wish Porsche used that practicality on most of their other somewhat routine maintenance work

Can’t speak to other countries, but in the US:
”Automakers have embraced light emitting diodes (LEDs) in headlights, and their use is becoming more widespread. At Consumer Reports, 55 percent of the 2018 models we tested had LED headlights. Of the 2019 models we've tested, 86 percent had LEDs.”
I’d assume in 2023, that number is higher.

And for good reason. Bulbs, projectors and housings are designed to operate as a closed system. Pull out the original bulb and stick in a generic, aftermarket, cheap replacement with different technology, and there's zero guarantee that the light is going to go where you expect/need it.

Maybe this is a solution for the headlights always fogging up. It's basically like installing a defroster for your headlights.
