Default LED parking light swap troubles

Swapped out my stock parking lights with some white LED's to go with my hid lows and fogs.. everything went well.. the LED bulbs work just fine but now my dash cluster is lit up with lights.. check engine light.. big exclamation mark.. traction control light.. I swapped the bulbs they are in and working.. anybody else have this same problem?! i have a scanner i can hook up and run to find the problem i was just wondering if someone else had this problem..

Maybe it has something to do with the different voltage or whatever it is that the LED lights operate on. I know that with LED turn signal bulbs you have to get a a resistor for each bulb or install/modify your existing flasher relay to stop them from causing hyper-blinking issues and stuff.
