My car started showing an error message stating that the right rear turn indicator failed. The bulb was out, and I replaced it with no issues.

The error message is still showing even though the bulb does blink while I am signaling.

I also changed the left rear light and now I am also seeing the same error message for the left side.

Again, both signals are working, so I am not sure what the issue is.

I switched the lightbulbs out with LEDs, idk if that could cause the issue. I also noticed that the end of the light socket looks kind of burnt out on both sides.

What do I need to do to make this error message go away?

So, the LED bulb has a different resistance which will cause the warning, I would get the bulb that has a built-in resistor or replace the bulbs with standard units. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
