You can of course ignore the change, but it is unknown how this will affect your safety on the road, meaning driving in "dirt" conditions.

Now this explains it. Thank you for taking the time to write up this detailed explanation! Now the question is, what are the correct spray nozzle part numbers for LED versions? At approximately $75-$80 per unit, I am now not sure if I even want to replace them, considering that there is not much of a difference between the LED and Xenon versions of the spray nozzles
