I recently purchased some 6000k super bright LEDs I would like to run as my parking lights to match my recently upgraded HID headlights and fogs. I am getting the "bulb out" error due to the fact that LEDs draw significantly less power.
Does anyone know what size resistor I need to run in order to eliminate these error codes?

I used the cheaper leds and got the error, then added resistors which have large heat sinks.
I did not feel comfortable with how hot they got, so I changed them for LEDS that don't need resistors.
Check on ebay for "No error 501 led bulbs"......"canbus leds" ....... they also sell the resistors.

25ohms should work.

2watt 100ohm resistors. use suitcase connectors so you won't have to cut.factory wires. make sure resistors are shrink wrapped and not rubbing against anything. they get hottt.

Thanks 2watt 100 ohm. Appreciate it.
Headed to eBay now.
Edit....you sure 2 watt 100 ohm? Can't find this anywhere.
