You do get an error with that light. Infact all exterior lights will give you an error.

I use 50 ohms 10 W resistors just attach it between cables of the led bulb. But it depends on bulbs... first of all use a potentiometer from 5 ohms to 15 ohms once you adjust the right ohm after the idrive shows no errors then buy the right resistor but with 50W-60W.

I noticed one of our vendors (Mike@F1 autohaus) carries LED reverse lights, not sure how well they work or if they throw a code or not.
