Mine are LED (rear and break) but no errors .... don't ask my why. I am fine with that :-)

I'd try it if I knew what I was doing when shopping for capacitors. I saved my 40" Samsung from it's constant powering on issues by replacing 4 capacitors, but it was an easy upgrade since I knew the values to get for their replacement. When I did the installation for that car, the customer ordered the bulbs and resistors and just had it all shipped to my house, I just did the labor.

I'm sure if nothing can be dug up "in the googles" some trial and error for the cost of a few bucks at radio shack and some extra time could produce results, at least if the opportunity ever presents itself.
