Astc Off Error After Led Tail lights

Hi guys,

My problem is; after i got my led tail lights installed today (looks awesome tho i'll but some pics asap..) i got an error message "ASTC OFF! SERVICE REQUIRED".. Then i called my service and asked them if they have any information about this issue, i've been told it's because of the led tail lights, somehow it blurs the ecu's mind. They said another owner had this issue, gone to the service, they installed the oem one's back and the issue gone.

Well that explanation makes sense, i've been reading this kind of things about leds and their effects on the ecus.. It happened right after the installation. But i don't know what's the solution..? Some kind of electrical circuit required i guess and where can i find it .. But just a guess..

Anyone have a clue?

Thanx.

When i stop the engine and turn it back on again, the warning ends and astc button works as always. After a couple of miles the warning turns back on again.

Hey guys!

In some other forum ppl adviced me to add some resistors to the leds to solve this problem and it's making sense to me..

Any of you have an idea about the values of the resistor i should add?

That would make sense but have no direct experience, maybe look around with some google searches as this area of the forums seems to be trafficed less frequently.
