You need resistors to make them work. Since led use less voltage to operate the car thinks the bulbs are blown

When I tried a "led" in my 240 volt domestic infra red sensored security lamp I got the flash on every five seconds result.
"Phister" was right. I had to buy a "led" cognisant lamp. The current drain on the old lamp with
"led" installed was too low.
Do not know whether"leds" with built in resisters are available though.
