Default Rear LED Light Udi Q5 (new code)

Hello everyone,
I have a Audi Q5 2012 20T engine. It has standard headlights (front and rear)
I bought two rear lights for the LED, installed them but work wrong! And appears in the faults dashboard.
I asked how many people told me that a new coding should be done. Does anyone know this and if so what is the code and how to do it,
Thanks,

Offhand no, but assuming that LED rear assemblies were in fact a geographic option for your car, you'd need Ross VAG COM to change the parameter in the computers, to tell the car what lights you have. The lights are on Canbus, and the vehicle is testing to see if they are in working order. It does that by reading the resistance. You might be able to kludge around that by adding a resistor, but IIRC Audi also does things like using some LED brake lights as turn and marker lights, bu applying different amounts of pulsed modulation. There's no way to kludge that, you have to hope it can be programmed. Ross VAG COM.
