Do a search here and you will find the answer but you will have to install a diode inline for the + wire to "fool" your module. Since the LED lights require so much less wattage to run, the module thinks the light is out, so it's giving you the lamp out warning.

Welcome to the board.

Yes. You can put back incandescent bulb and if you are really in light temperature go for bluish one that will match HID's color.

Don't ruin sophisticated system of warnings by wiring in resistors or diodes. That will delete light warning permanently. Even if your light is out. There is also certain possibility to start fire that way.
