Will LED bulbs work in my fogs?

Sorry guys, it's been a while since I posted anything. Also this may have been answered in another post, but I don't have enough time to search for it. I got LED bulbs for my foglamps on my 2003 C32.

Will I get an error message, or will they work without putting some type of resistor in them?

This is probably been answered before, but like I said, I couldn't find the post.

I'm 90% sure you'll get an error that a bulb is out. However the worse part is you're not going to get any light projection from the LED's. Just buy an inexpensive HID kit and it will look great and be really bright.

I kind of thought so. I'm not overly concerned about the brightness, I just hate how yellow they are. I really don't use them much at all. I'll look into the HID kit. However, I certainly don't want blue or purple fogs!

I went 6000K all around and it looks great to me. Super white, but not blue. And my HID fogs now contribute a ton of light too.

I bought a set of headlight bulbs and an HID kit from these guys and they look add work great.

You don't happen to know the bulb size and fit on the fogs do you?
