Default Aftermarket LED taillights -dash error

Just installed LED taillights and handbrake light stay on. Lights have all the error boxes.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
I check all connections.
I spotted that when I release handbrake without pressing stop light go off but soon as you press break it coming back

It’s a burnt bulb warning. The car thinks you have a bulb out, but it’s that LED use less current.

Pretty sure you need some sort of inline resistor to get the light off. It's been a while so I forget which one, but there were alot of threads on it here

If you swapped out all the taillights for after market housings with LED's, then you to pull the instrument cluster and remove the warning bulb. Your not going to need it anymore. LED's shouldn't go bad anytime soon. And thqt light won't come on even if you did have an LED fail.
