Panda 4x4 TA Antarctica

Hi,
I'm currently refurbishing a small unbraked trailer for use with our Panda. We have a Thule (now branded Brink, I believe) detachable bar and 7-pin electrics fitted.
As part of the refurb on the trailer, I need to replace all of the lighting and was thinking of taking the opportunity to upgrade to LED lights (on the trailer). My question is that I have heard some cars respond adversely to LED lighting on the trailer board, as the current draw is insufficient and this is interpreted as a blown bulb, producing an error message on the dash. Has anyone had any experience of using LEDs on trailer lighting with the panda? Appreciate that there are LEDs available with an extra resistor, but don't want to go down that route unless necessary.
Thanks in advance!
