Lancer0220 is correct.

The reason why he is asking about LED's on the car is because cruise control sometimes tied in with other electrical subsystems and lighting. So if you use LED "uses almost no power" it can mess up / disable your cruise control. There are fixes available for that if you have LED.

Beware, if you have something like that on your car, and the dealer finds it, you may pay for them fixing it and looking around.

If i change the bulbs to regular halogen bulbs, will the cruise control function normally again? i threw out my old bulbs after changing them to led bulbs... and does anybody know what the warranty is for second owners?
