DRL question

http://www.v-leds.com/RED-1156-21-LE...12593-1-2.html

I'm thinking about replacing the DRL bulb to LEDs. Does anybody know if the bulb above can be used to replace the oem DRL bulb? Thanks in advance.

Are HID and DRL are different?

then why did you ask this DB?
I was wondering if the LED above will work on our factory HID headlights
If you knew what you were doing you would say:

you don't need any sort of resistors , they work out of the box. I've had them for about 6 months with no issues.

What's wrong with that? I know it's illegal, but I sure do get a lot of, "damn, your car looks evil!" Lol
