Has there been a reverse bulb that dosent throw out error codes and is white, not yellow. I read somewhere hoking up resistors solved the issue, but is there a built in led bulb that dosent throw out an error code. I remember purchasing license plate led bulbs from someone from here, and it didnt throw any codes, maybe there is a 921 bulb like so.

And no, I haven't seen any solution without resistors at the moment. This is probably the cheapest / best solution. Guarantee no error message.

The problem is that LEDs inherently run more efficiently than the factory bulbs so they draw less power and cause the computer to trip a bulb out warning. Resistors are really the only option with LEDs unless you find bulbs with built in resistors (I have yet to see these).
