Not sure what the cutoff point is though. Can be easily remedied with addition of a suitable resistor in the circuit, but you may not need to.

Someone else on the forum was playing with upgrades to LED bulbs, so his experiences might be helpful:

I agree, I think you'll have problems with the LED lights. If so, the remedy is to use a resistor. Those LED bulbs are EXPENSIVE at $89 plus shipping with no guarantee they will work. I spent about $10 for a set of H7, 5000K halogen bubs that look great and match my factory xenons with Philips 5000K D2S HID bulbs. Let us know if the LED bulbs work. I assume you're going with the white LEDs?
