Did you use CANBUS LEDs? The system will throw up errors if the brake bulbs are blown (or appear to be to the car). Easiest way to check is to stick the old bulbs back in (assuming you changed them before they'd blown). If the errors go then you know the LEDs aren't suitable.

The problem is caused by the fact that HDC is hardwired in to the brake system - it activates the brake lights when it operates so if a bulb is blown etc. the system senses a fault and so reduces functionality. HDC is part of the Terrain Response system which also controls how the transmission and suspension works. You can get a cascade failure caused by a simple initial problem. It does have the beneficial effect of protecting you and the vehicle from doing damage because of a problem somewhere. The downside is that it doesn't discriminate a blown bulb from something more serious.
