EVIC false messages

[Paluby]

Okay so I installed some nice RECON LED reverse lights along with their LED license plate lights. My EVIC is showing that both are out when they clearly aren't. So now obviously I need some load resistance to compensate for the more efficient LED's but I'm not familiar with how to figure out how much resistance I need. I did grab some 6ohm resistors but that didn't appear to be enough. I'm not super electronic savvy so some help would be great.

Have you used these before? Are you thinking the 9ohms is more in the ballpark that I need?

I have about 15 sitting in my garage. Use them for any error message from LED's.

Okay sweet. Shipping usually takes quite awhile up to Alaska so maybe I'll check a couple shops around town tomorrow. Just to clarify since I've never attached resistors before you just attach them to the power line correct?
