New tail/brake lights installed but now brake lamp light on dash is on
Hello out there, im new to this site and just wanted to ask if anyone else has had this problem. So i got some LED tail/brake lights from ebay and i installed them last night. They work well but i noticed when i turned the car on and drove away, the little brake lamp light on my dash lit up. Just wondering if there was a way id be able to bypass it or fix it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

LED's don't have the electrical resistance of normal bulbs so the car "thinks" that the bulb is out. Either wire in some resistors or go with bulbs with them built-in (usually the ones marked as CANBUS compliant)
