Did you ever resolve this ?
My car is giving me that same message but the lights all seem fine.

You car measures the current/power in the circuitry and it looks for values that are respective to the regular bulb. When you put LED's, the urgent/power is much less in the circuit , so the car thinks the bulb is out. When you start your LED's, you see some strobing show with our LED bulbs? That's when the car sends signals to measure he current or pretty much every bulb in the car.

^^Right on.

The only way out of this is to put a resistor inline or code the bulb check out for that bulb.
