HELP WITH LED ERROR CODE

HELLO, I HAVE A W220 AND I JUST INSTALL NEW LED ON THE SIDE LIGHTS, BUT IM GETTING A ERROR CODE, I NOTICE THAT WHEN THE SWITCH ITS IN THE AUTO POSITION AND WHEN I START THE CAR THE SIDE LIGHT GOES OFF FOR A SECOND AND THATS WHEN I GET THE ERROR CODE, BUT ONLY THE LEFT SIDE DOES THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE THE LEFT HEADLAMP IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER TO TURN ALL THE LIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THE CAR IS CRANKING. BUT WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR THEN A TURN THE LIGHTS ON MANUALLY ITS FINE. HELP

E500 "The Diplomat" W211
LED install on mercedes

I just replaced every factory bulb in my car, inside and out. I have a w211 E500 but I am sure that they have the same issue.

Need Resistors + LED:
The parking lights, the corner markers, all inside trunk lights & license plate lights.

Regular LED: lights under seats, dome lights, map lights (Only front can take LED), vanity mirror lights, puddle lights.

*Rear Seat Map lights cannot take LED bulbs, use a xenon blue glass wedge bulb

sometimes its just the LED light bulbs that you use. Sometimes Chinese made LED lights will give you errors. I went trough several pair and sometimes its just a faulty light bulb.
