That means they won't turn on / off as intended. It may be worth a google, but that's what I seem to remember.

There's also a question over legality, and insurance.
Legality/insurance wouldn't be a problem,
That was thing, I couldn't get a definitive yes or no from swedespeed, every thread just sort of ended with the cliffhanger with "This is what I did". I've got access to vdash, vida, the lot, so if software changes were needed, that's not an issue
Having to physically reach down to manually turn them on/off via the switch wouldn't be an issue either as long as I didn't get the nagging light saying bulb failure etc...
