The law was changed just over a year ago and the Ministry modified the rules to state that halogen bulbs could be replaced with LED bulbs without the need for approval.

So, yes, you can.

Ordinary is halogen.

Curious why you would want or need to?

For anything to do with driving in Spain have a look at the N332 website.   It is for English speaking people and is run in conjunction with officers of the Guardia Civil.   On the website there is an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on it.

If you have ever driven a modern car with led lights, you would know the difference is huge.
