Default problem with new led tail lamps

I have a 94 Honda accord lx coupe just got the new altezza led tail lamps in the shape of an H after installing them i noticed that the brake lamp in the instrument panel was coming on i double checked them to make sure that everything was hooked up correctly and now I'm puzzled and don't know what to do. My only thought is that due to the led voltage being lower than a regular bulb that it might be triggering the brake lamp warning to come on.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Update- I changed the control box like the instructions said and it still does the same thing. I also checked all the groud wires and everthing looks good.

I have never heard of this when dealing with the LED lights. Perhaps you may have loosened a ground when you were installing them? Other than that, I don't know what else it could be.

Good luck!

you have two options: replace all the bulbs but the new led ones or go through the system one by one checking everything. You should also know that the brake light will also be for running lights too like on the rear bumper, high mount in the rear window, etc. I also believe even though it is miss leading but if a headlight is out this light will come on too. Don't hold me to that one but it is possible!
