Hmm.... scratches head.

How can changing bulbs trigger Check Engine Light? Even if you screw up the installation of the bulb or cause short circuit, you'll blow a fuse.

Did you try reverting back to stock and see any difference? I'm not sure if this will make a difference, how about the wattage / current draw of the LED that your installing?

When that mini screen says "Check System". It means your TPMS sensors are not in your wheels. I had the same exact light the past week until I got new sensors for my stockies. Like acefalcon asked, did you install new wheels without the sensors?

Check system indicates a communication problem with the sensors, not a low air pressure condition.

The TPMS system can access two different sets of sensors. Go into the menu (controls are left of steering wheel) and make sure you didn't accidentally change the settings to use the alternate set.
