Swap back to your original halogens and see if they work. If so, you might have a resistance problem, or lack of in this case. LED bulbs draw much less current than halogens or incandescent. When I installed led backup bulbs, everything worked fine but once I added a license plate backup light for more light, my backup sensors went wacky. Once I added a load resistor to each light, the problem went away. The led tail lights did the same thing.
Hope this helps.

The last I heard the OEM headlight switches were no longer available. I believe aftermarket replacement switches are available. Be sure to get the right one as there are a couple different part numbers based on year and if you have fog lights or not.

Have you checked for power at all points? Headlight plugs, headlight switch in/outputs?
