Hey there, I have changed a lot of my bulbs, headlights, foglights, sidelights etc, as well as the rear number plate bulbs and most of the interior bulbs for either LED or super bright white bulbs with no issues.
Here's a few of my posts that you might find helpful.....

You can turn the bulb 'cold' detection off but it won't do you any good because the power to each bulb is also turned off if the computer thinks the bulb has blown.

You may not get any error but you won't have lights either !
