Installed my hid kit from retro shop. I also put in pilot LEDs for tail lights,turn signals and license plate lights. Everything works. Install was a breeze. I'm getting a msg that the tail lights r out and one of the turn signals is out. It's also flashing faster than normal like a bulb is out. My question is there anything I could do to stop the msg and fast flashing. Thanx for any info. Will post pics later.

The LED tails probably need a load resistor. The LEDs draw much less current and the computer sees the lack of current being used as a burnt out bulb.
