Has anybody tried using something like these for the Angel Eyes:

Think that it might throw a code? They are pretty cheap.

I think those will throw codes

Hrmm, you will need to see if there are resistors built in. Doesn't look like it.

The other issue is those are not designed to fan out in a Y shape to illuminate the fiber optic rings. My guess is they will be dim.

You need something like this that inserts the LEDs into the fiber optic inputs.

What does the OEM H8 bulb look like? I don't think it looks like these Y-ones!
