Default Tail Lamp Out Sensor

So I replaced my tail lights and brake lights with LEDs. I even spent the extra money and got the Canbus ones that are supposed to be error free so the lamp out light won't come on. I put the LEDs in and sure enough the light came on in the dash that tells you there's a light out. Is there anyway around this ? Does anyone know if I unplug the sensor will the light go off in the dash ?

I've got the same problem. You will have to install resistors to get the sensor to stop

So today at work I took apart my trunk so I could get at the lamp out sensor and unplug it. I wanted to see if the light would go out in the dash. So I unplugged the sensor and was very happy to see that the light went out. Yeah !!! Then I realized that I had no tail lights or brake lights. Great !!!
