Still, the god-damn CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS/ CHECK TAIL LIGHTS message appears there under speedometer. How can I tell the stupid computer that I already had these fixed (any reset procedure .. etc). Mine is '02
First take out the LED just go back to stock, and make sure you have no code with stock bulb (this is important, I had bad contact on park/brake light it gave me warning even with good bulb). I fixed it by sanding and soldering a good layer of silver tin on the contact, no problem even after 4-years.

Then you can add the LED.

I have LED AE tied to fog light and no code so I know you can parallel both regular bulbs and LED to kill the warning. but it'll flicker the LED at start up and periodically when engine running.
