So I bought a pair of red LED brake lights which are supposedly "CANBUS" compatible. Any time I turn on my headlights, I get ESP error on the dashboard.

option1: Are there LED bulbs which I can use that does not require a load resistor? if yes, link please?

option2: If I were to use a load resistor, what's the wattage and resistance value? Also, do I need 1 for each bulb? Thanks! :)

I bought a whole LED taillight set and it included only two resistors, which I used on the indicators. I get a traction control warning coz the brakes don't have resistors as well, but at least the indicators don't blink mega fast. I've bought a couple of heavy duty resistors, 50 watt 8 ohm, that included the clips to connect it to the brake wires. I believe it needs to be in parallel with the light, not in series.
