Yes, and it is a wonderful improvement in looks -- especially if you have Xenons. However, because the LEDs draw so little current, the FRM control module "thinks" the city/driving lamps are burned-out and issues a warning.

To suppress the warning, you need to do either of the following:

(1) wire in a resistor to "load-up" the circuit;

OR

(2) use the NCS Expert programming environment on a Win OS to disable the warm and cold bulb checks.

I chose option #2.

HTH,
