LED bulbs used off-road or in auxiliary lights are legal everywhere. For on-road headlight use, legality varies by state.

Use a CANbus decoder.

Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2001 Dodge Viper?

Upgrading to LED is one of the most effective ways to modernize your Dodge's appearance and safety profile. We recommend starting your upgrade with the 9006 LED low beams, as they see the most use. Adding a matching 103 LED kit later will complete the look and ensure consistent lighting performance. Because Dodge utilizes a CANbus system, standard LED bulbs may cause "bulb out" errors on your dashboard. Always opt for "Error-Free" or CANbus-ready kits which include the necessary resistors. Don't forget the H3 LED fog lights; switching these to LED can dramatically improve your visibility in adverse weather.
