Led tail light bulbs causing ERROR

I am thinking about replacing my tail light bulbs with LED and I was wondering whether the LED bulbs will trigger error message on dashboard?
And if it will, is there anyway that I can work around this issue?

You posted in the 1st gen forum section, so assuming that your car is a 1st gen MINI, it doesn't check and doesn't have a warning for bulb out. The turn signals will blink fast ("hyperflash") if you replace them with LED. You can fix that with load resistors.

After you install LEDs, check that they are bright enough to be seen in the daylight (most will be dimmer than the OEM standard bulb).
