Check Parking lights (Left and Right) Message
Help!
Got home and suddenly, "check right parking lights" and "check left parking lights" message showed (both msg showing alternately). The parking light stays lit even when the engine is off and the keys are removed. The LED bulbs are brand new and was just replaced to make sure it was not the bulbs. Strangely, when I lock the car, the error message and both parking lights disappear. What's up??? (Frustrated)
(Of course, this only happens when I park at the garage where it's a bit dark or in the evening)
Any assistance/tips would be appreciated.

Probably the LED's don't draw enough current to keep the bulb out system from not turning on. It most likely happens when parking in the garage because of the automatic system which turns on the lights when it is dark. Otherwise, with the lights off, the system does not check the current draw on the lights, since they are off, and will not report a failure.
