Do the LED assemblies have the same resistance of each bulb it replaces?

If you have dimming lights which the f50 does you can't dim Led's. So just put back th old bulbs. the lights are controlled by the BCM and you don't want to break that.

LEDs are dimmable by pulsing the current high and low. It then appears as PWM. Need a separate controller to achieve this functionality.

But in our F50 it's not configurable as BCM has limits. The current draw for LEDs are at least 20mA and incandescent (depends what size) could be as high as 200mA. Probably you bought the wrong LED replacement.
