Opinions on these lights?

A sidelight (city light do you guys call them?) popped on my W210 recently, so I decided to try these LED bulbs instead:




What do you think? Obviously the main headlamps will need changing to some whiter bulbs (can't use LEDs in those), but I think they look pretty good.

I'm still getting a bulb failure warning, although I planned to wire some normal bulbs across them to double as underbonnet lighting (saves using a torch). Or can anyone recommend a suitable wattage resistor?

Huh?

Did you have to run resistors to avoid the dreaded light bulb malfunction indicator?
