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

You're right on wattage, it's only drawn as needed. The thing with voltage though is the device takes on the full load from the source. When making your own bulbs you have to dissipate the extra voltage so that it doesn't overload the LEDs. *insert voltage badger don't care meme here* As Travis alluded to that's also why you don't run a car without a battery, as then there's a significant load decrease on the alternator and voltage can surge up to 120V frying everything in the car that can't stand up to the spike. Had a genius do that after installing a new alternator on his car to "test out the new alternator" to see if it worked. It worked all right, fried every computer in the damn thing...wanted to slap him in the face... Anyhow the calculator I posted earlier makes it really easy to figure out what you have to do with the array, and resistance and wattage values. If you're going to go through the trouble of messing with pre-made bulbs you might as well make your own. What you said about the resistors being blown tells me they're just being cheap, and they didn't use a high enough wattage resistor to stand up to the current. Also generally a car with an alternator working at its best puts out 14.4-14.6V at idle. Though based on the earlier I just think it's really shoddy LED bulbs, as the CANbus are probably of higher quality anyhow and use the proper wattage on the resistors.
