lamp out and leds

bed is finally installed. i have leds and the i now have the lamp out code. i thought that was corrected in the 11's. I believe i need to wire in 3- 6ohm 50 watt resistors to remedy this. Am i correct in this thinking?
Will i cause any damage running this way for a few days until i can do the fix?

truck is an 2011 ram 3500 c&c thanks for any and all responses

I think you have to go to the dealer and they turn off lamp out feature. I read that in the upfitters guide. Don't have to wire in resistors if u do that

The rule of thumb on these are you need a minimum of two amps (a normal Non-LED bulb) and a maximum of 4 (two Non-LED bulbs)..

You need to go to the website of your LED company and found out the ampacity of the LEDs that you are using..

Here is a link to the resistors (at the bottom of the link):

I had enough clearance/tail lights on my set up all I had to do was install the one in for the blinkers..

Here is my set up (post 22):

And the resistor install:
