Numberplate bulb help

[Rossco91]

Hi everyone, I’m new here and I’m just looking for some help regarding my numberplate bulbs. One of my bulbs went so in all my wisdom I decided I’d switch to LEDs. I got some from the local car parts shop who told me they were canbus and the fault code would be cleared. I fitted said bulbs and they both work, miracle I know, but there is still a message displaying saying I’ve a numberplate bulb not working. Any input here is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like they are no true canbus , there's not enough resistance to tell the lighting module that there are bulbs installed. You might be better off getting LED modules.
