Default Tail Light Warning!

I have a 2009 3.2L A4 that runs incandescent tail lights. I just recently installed LED tails and they function 100% properly but I keep getting these tail light warnings and its driving me nuts. My mechanic said its just because the LEDs are less power drawing than the incandescent and so the sensors are going off. I was wondering if there is anything that I can do to make these warning lights to stop - Cheers!

How about the center brake light? They often have a solder problem inside where the connector pins pass through the circuit board.

If your replacement LED tails work properly you should not see a message. I suspect they are not correctly working. You need to use VAG com to find out who the bad actor is and either connect a lamp in parallel or a resistor to simulate the load of an incandescent lamp so the comfort module is, well, comfortable.
