Unless the LED module was specifically designed to replace the light bulb used in the F01/02 or you need to use a bypass resistor large enough to draw enough power for the detection circuitry to think the bulb is fine. Personally I don't like this approach since it defeats the purpose of using LEDs that are more efficient than regular light bulbs. In addition those bypass resistors would get quite hot and need to have sufficient cooling!
