Apart from the fact it is illegal, no.

In fact you should be able to code the car to accept LED bulbs if you have certain options/modules fitted.

I've read because they are not 'E' marked for use in UK/Europe legally and that now they will fail the UK MOT tests from 2021 for having these bulbs.

So do i want to fit them and then remove em again for every MOT......

Been looking at Halogen bulbs @ 200% white light over standard instead.
