what error warnings are you getting?

did the led bulbs you installed come with built in resistors?

most likely they don't have resistors...IIRC, you can code your car to delete the bulb check system which would clear the codes, but the resistors and error warnings are there for a reason, I'd swap out your current LED bulbs for ones with resistors so you don't get the error codes...
