I would THINK so otherwise you would be OK to drive down the road with 3 huge light bars because you want to illuminate the road for 2 miles. Maybe this is why it has to be DOT legal and can only project a certain amount of lumens?

Guess I missed something? There was no change in the FOG light operation after installing those particular LED headlights? I.e., when switching the high beams ON, the FOG lights go OFF!? Interesting.... If so, yeah...that would suggest those particular lights have (parallel) LOAD resistors built in. Interesting.

Because they list it as working with several specific vehicles, I think grandspt is right, they've installed the proper resistance.

Hi Paul. The only combination I DIDN'T try was fog+high beam. But everything else worked as before. i.e. Low+fog, low no fog, high no fog.

And, yes the fogs go OFF with High Beams. Factory plug and play for the Corvette!
Was blind but now I see.

I guess they do have a resistor of sorts in line.

I still prefer HID, it is brighter. Just don't buy cheap hid kits(buy a brand called morimoto) and you are good. But the led stuff is nice for sure.

I'm glad HID works for you. But very pleased with this LED setup.
Also, I stopped for gas Saturday and had a no-start situation. I unplugged the MAF and reconnected it. Boom. So far, no more SES. You were right about easy.

Yea it's not a plug and play like the LED. Their whole HID kits are 150, with 15% today LOL. I only have their system in my fogs, but I have wondered about the rotating headlight and ballast as well.
Haha nice!

What happens when you reconnect it?
