How to eliminate the burnt-out light bulb warning when changing to LED lights?

Hello everyone, I recently changed the front halogen lights of my VW CC to LED lights. However, now the burnt-out light indicator is on in the instrument cluster. Does anyone know how I can deactivate this indicator via coding? I appreciate any advice or experience you can share. Thanks!

Summary of the thread

A VW CC owner replaced front halogen lights with LED lights, triggering a burnt-out light indicator on the instrument cluster. This issue arises because LEDs draw less power, causing the system to mistakenly detect a bulb failure. A suggested solution is to check if the LED lights have built-in resistors or to install load resistors to prevent the warning.

Check if your LED lights have built-in resistors or if you need to install load resistors to prevent the burnt-out light indicator. This is often necessary because LEDs draw less power than halogen bulbs, which can trigger the warning. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
