LEDs draw less current for the same light output than either filament or halogen bulbs. Unfortunately this means the car's fault detection system can sometimes think the bulb is blown, as it does not pass the fault current threshold. The fault will only be apparent on some vehicle types, depending where the threshold is set.
So it's impossible to specify what parallel resistor is needed to prevent the fault showing up, and you would also have to tell us what wattage of conventional bulb you are replacing (50W headlamp or 5W indicator, say).
You are then going to mount a relatively high wattage resistor somewhere adjacent to the lampholder.
All-in-all I doubt that it is worth it, but if you what to know an approximate resistor value, tell us the bulb wattage.

I have used Cree Led bulbs with no problems.
