Hey Keith .....

LED Tailights - Load Resistors
It shows the 5watt 180 Ohm Resistors you need to use & where/how to fit them.
These will remedy/fix your problem.

No .... I don't believe so .... it's happened to many of us before with no probs.
The worst it can do is disable your ASC Active Stability Control and/or Cruise Control.
So be mindful of these disabled features and drive accordingly/safely until the resistors are fitted.

Yeah it's fine to drive, no cruise sucks though!
