I second that. You would need to wire in a resistor, but could still have heat and/or burnout issues. I tried 2 of the cheaper led sets off ebay and just got the strobe effect. They even said in the ad they worked for the mercedes E-class so I assumed they had resistance prewired in, but I was wrong. You get what you pay for I guess....

(oops... I just realized how old this thread was.... sorry to bring it back to life)
