Default 91 LS400 Tail Light Senor Light on After Upgradingn to LED

Hello everyone, My LS 400 has been running flawless ever since I replaced a lot of parts when I first bought it. Today after upgrading my car's tail light bulbs to LED my tail light warning light on the cluster turned on. I can simply remove the bulb from the instrument cluster to get rid of the warning light but is there a way to fix this issue? I have already wasted money on buying LED bulbs and I don't want to switch back to incandescent bulbs again.
Best regards!

easiest and most sure way to remedy without taking the cluster out is to put load resistors on each bulb = costs more money.

not sure if this solution is compatible as this is for a newer gen model, but it involves modifying the tail light module:

Modding the lamp failure module is a good solution but don't except your warning light in the cluster to do anything, it won't tell you when an LED goes out. I simply remove the bulb from the cluster.
