I own a 2007 MKZ. Recently I had a headlight blow out. I replaced both headlights with LED bulbs. The lights work fine, but now I’m getting a warning message that both headlights are out. If someone knows a fix for this, it would be greatly appreciated. This is going to drive me insane having to reset the warning every 10 minutes.

These are the headlights I purchased.

Usually that means that the car thinks that the bulbs are burned out since they are either a) not drawing the same "normal" amount of current since LED's use much less power than the halogen bulbs or b) not passing a continuity/resistance test because of the electronic driver for the LED. Some companies offer a solution for this - you should check with the manufacturer of the bulb first. There are many "warning canceller" products available - reports vary on whether they work or not, but if you look on Amazon there are no shortage of options.
