Reverse bulb swap for LED

I want to swap my reverse light bulbs for LED ones. Simple enough as per mr-fix video but there's chat in the comments below it about it potentially strobing as the can-bus does a check but the fact you can recode it to say it's LED.
I can't find the follow up video (if ever made) to tell the car this via OBDeleven.
Anyone know the coding or adaption?

I've done it..I used Osram LED bulbs in all 9 of the rear bulbs!!


I need to do a write up on it as many of the things that should work didn't!

In the "leutche channels" the reverse bulbs you need to set bulb type to :-"45 general LED to 6w"

Thanks, with a bit more googling I got to:-
Module 09 Central Electrics → Adaptions
Leuchte28RFL LC11 (left-side lamp) → Lasttyp 28 → pick your setting
Leuchte29RFL RA64 (Right-side lamp) → Lasttyp 29 → pick your setting

Currently just working with a backup in OBDeleven but hope to implement soon.
