Try experimenting with the Hot monitoring turned ON. The reason I prefer this is, just so that you know if the LED bulb itself has blown.

BMW do this themselves for their LED lights. Look at how the 3rd brake light (high middle) is coded.

I agree and would have preferred this too, but if I leave the hot monitoring on I get an error as soon as I press the brake pedal. I guess my LED bulbs don't use enough power to keep the LM happy.

Thanks
