You can test and remove that light bulb to test have error code or not first, if no error code then can change to led without resistor.

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.
