Do any of you know how to turn off the "XXX Light out" warning message that shows up on the display panel?

I've replaced all my lights w LEDs and the car thinks all the lights are out--which usually isn't a big deal during daytime driving, but at night it's a real doozy b/c the instrument panels keeps alternating between super-bright and 'normal for night driving".

Any Vag-Com guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

You can't without Error Free CANBUS bulbs (which 1/2 the time don't work). You need resistor kits like these:

I was able to get around the license plate bulb out by switching to the LED license plate bulb function via OBDEleven.

The only bulb I used which didn't throw an error were Philips 1156 Ultinon LED Bulbs for my brake/turns.
