Malfunction Warning after installing Smoked Tailights

I just had my bodyshop install the smoked tailights I received from R171.co.

Everything and all the bulbs are working, however on the on-board computer, there is a warning prompting that there is a malfunction on the rear lamps.

I checked the bulbs from the stock lamps and everything is the same. The installation was also a direct plug in so I don't know what the problem is.

Any of you with similar experiences or know of a cure?

Thanks in advance.

is the plug that goes into the lights attached to each light itself or is there a seperate bit with the bulbs? i assume the latter

and if so, why not just use the current light board you had with your first lights?
