Re: With LEDs the reduced current draw will trigger the warnings.
Tried 2 different resistors, including one that is recommended for LED lights. They end up getting too hot VERY fast. I abandoned the idea for now but I am considering an alternative that would allow me to use a full H7 style bulb to illiminate when the highbeams are selected. Looking at re-wiring the DRL into the provision for the euro city-light instead.
