LED Bumper lamps

i have been looking at putting clear corners on my car..............i also have to buy some new lights if i do. I want to put some of thoes LED light bulbs in. But do they cause any problems with the electrical system? because they obviously pull less power then a standard bulb, will this make the car think the light bulbs are burnt out?

here is what im looking at putting in.

I thought LEDs were supposed to last longer than regular bulbs...? I suppose some companies put out total crap just to make it cheaper. Interesting nonetheless...
