Default lamp out

I had a new flat bed installed on my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500. Now the "lamp out" warning stays on. The new bed has more lights than the original bed, but they are LED lights. Is there a way to turn this warning light out without loosing it's functionality.
Thanks for any help.

Probably need load resistors.

Aren't there circuit boards in the stock tail lights? Were those re-used with the flatbed?

The stock tail lights were not reused.

That may be the problem....... I think there is a 'sense' wire in there somewhere..... that tells whatever if the bulbs are working.
