Hello. I upgraded my stop/tail light and the high mounted brake light bulbs to LED. However, the computer knows that the resistance of the LED bulbs are far less than the standard incandescent bulbs it constantly displays an amber alert on the cluster. How do I disable that display and the accompanying text warning? The LED bulbs are functioning perfectly yet the dumb computer keeps displaying the warning.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure there are led load resistors you can buy specifically for this purpose, and you just wire them inline with your lights. I've never converted my lights to LEDs, so unfortunately I don't know if it's a one size fits all resistor or not.

To disable the amber warning, here's what I did: 1) bought sockets for a T10 bulb from Oreily Auto Parts; 2) used positaps to tap into the brakelight bulb leads; 3) used interior dome light bulbs (which I replaced with LED's). With that on both brake lights, the constant display of amber warning on brake lights are gone!
