Default Rear LED lights causing dash warning light

First time Lexus owner, loving it! I have a 2002 GS300. I added LED reverse lights (Lasfit 921 LED) and 3rd break light (Yorkim T10).

Since the change, my desk rear light indicator comes on when I hit the break pedal. I understand this is a resistance or power draw issue.

I've heard I can cut a resistor in a module mounted in the trunk (drivers side under the c pillar), but the only info I find is from a '98. I don't have a wiring diagram and want to be sure i cut the right one.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram or a better solution?

I would solder the resistor before I sold it and I'm not worried about a blown bulb...I'll check often.

You can also just pull the bulb

I'm not a fan of pulling the dash apart...seems the never go back together right. I have not researched how difficult it is though. Any idea?

Just pull on the cover in front of the cluster and it pops off then pull the bulb. It should only take a few minutes
