Default Why is my warning light for my exterior lights on?

I just installed led tail lights for my GS4 and now my warning light for the exterior lights is on. Does anyone know why or how I can fix that?

Also I just installed Silverstar 9006's for my fog lights but they still shine in the same yellow colour. Does anyone know why this is? Is the housing itself yellow? They should be shining white.

What bulbs do I use to replace the front side markers?

Any help is welcome. Thank you

The original bulbs present a greater load to the electrical system and when you installed the leds, it tells the computer that there is no load on that circuit, since they have a low power requirement. There are threads on how to install resistors into the circuit to trick the computer into thinking there are regular bulbs installed.

Yes, the fog have a yellow housing inside the fog light. I'm looking for a set of yellows if you want to sell them. You can look in the classifieds for a set of clear fogs. There usually is a set in there. Oh...your in Canada...shipping costs...lol. Unless shipping is reasonable.

Is there a way I can take out the yellow filter? I'd rather have white fog lights instead of yellow. And how much would a resistor be?

I suggest you trade someone for them because once you break it that's that. Yellow ones are worth more too.
