    It thinks your bulb has blown, the bulb warner doesnt like your LEDs by the sounds of it.

    As above mate, look at the link. Try doing a forum search for LEDS etc... see what you find, some say you can fit an extra resister etc. But I personally think they are over rated. Get some MTEC 501's. I think most people on here do.
