Do we have a canbus system? o.O Options

[rentaspace]

Well, I am not quite sure....
In my experiences with my LEDs EVERY time I have bought non Cbus LEDs they have started flickering and flashing after a few months, some even straight away....
About 2 months ago I decided to just check out the Cbus versions of the same LEDs and to my surprise not one has started flashing yet...


So this leads to my question, is it remotely possible that the 6th Gen Celica (Or maybe even the ADM version) has a canbus system? or have I just had a statistical anomaly lol

Hmmm.... All the towers I've seen have been CANbus... Where as the smaller ones weren't. From what I've found when a car has CANbus, it has sensors to determine if a bulb is good or not by resistance. Which would mean the CANbus LEDs have resistors in them to tell the car the bulb is still good. That also tells me that the other LED bulbs do not have a resistor in them(or it's the wrong value), as they throw the warning. By not having resistors added the LEDs are taking on too much voltage and are having their life shortened dramatically.

You could always do what I've started to do, just buy a pack of 100 LEDs off eBay for like $3 and make your own bulbs. Can get any resistors you'd need from eBay or local electronics store. I ended up doing the key ring, climate control, and door switch panels for my brother's Maxima for pocket change, where as it'd would have cost $20+ for the pre-made bulbs.

Here's a great calculator I've found that saves the trouble of doing all the math:
