    I changed all the interior lights - mixture of t10/w5w bulbs and festoon bulbs.

    When i changed the rear numberplate bulbs from incandescent to LED, keep throwing up this error code. I understand its because the LED is drawing less power.
    I bought an OBD2 reader/eraser, but the code doesn't appear on it.

    Anyone know of a solution?

    Even if there was a code that you can erase, it would come back as soon as you turn the lights on. The real solution is to have a ballast wired in parallel to the LED so that the ECU sees an appropriate current being drawn. It might be possible to get away with just a resistor mounted in parallel to the LED, but you need to check the temperature so that you dont burn your car to the ground...
