Why not upgrade them to LED at the same time?

I purchased similar in May 19 no warning lights and a promptly replaced faulty bulb on first fitment. Much nicer light for DRLs

P21w also known as 382.

Can someone put pics up with leds installed. Is there much of a difference?

Im wanting to put h11 leds in foglight and h3 main beam, but haven't had a single decent response of gains and fitting issues. 

All i got was it failing an mot if i did so.

LEDs will not work well in a lamp designed for halogen bulbs; beam scatter will mean you lose a lot of the extra light while dazzling other road users. There's also the fact that fog lights are designed to provide light low down at just enough intensity to let you see the road. Overly bright bulbs with beam scatter will leave you looking into a wall of white in fog, and not enough useful light where you need it on the road.

 

LEDs are just about ok for DRLs because they're there for daylight visibility rather than functional lighting at night. You might still fail an MOT with them but you're not too likely to cause trouble otherwise.

As chimaera says, LED for DRLs only.
