I was led to believe the led reverse lights I puchased from mike would only show an error message at startup and disappear. Turns out that is not the case and he will not refund me shipping costs which adds up to $10. The bulb itself $15. So I got screwed. Does anyone know what resistor I can use to cancel the error code.

These are the ones I used for the license plates lights, 2 bucks!
I had it for 6 months now and it works great!

Yea but which resistors will work?10ohm?
A 50 ohm 10W 5% Wirewound Resistor at each LED should trick the electronics that it has the same resistance as a conventional bulb.
