I've had 2 sets of rear LEDs and both threw up the odd error when starting the car in the dark with auto lights on but after a couple of months the errors stopped. Any time the error did appear a quick turn off and on would fix it. Or not leave the lights on auto. If you don't have auto lights then you will probably never see the error as it only came on when starting the car from cold with the lights in ie low battery level and trying to check lights at the same time.

To the left of my DRL switch is the coming home lights switch (turns fog lights on when you unlock the car at night, or when you turn car off and get out at night).

I didn't know it could be adjusted, thought it just worked in conjunction with the lights...
