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

I've been drinking a lil bit so bear with me here-

Firstly I think youre mistaken on your terms.

Voltage is the pressure/force while current (amperage) is the amount of energy flowing. Wattage is both.
Formula wise W=V*A

So you stating the bulbs "use" 12 volts is incorrect. Voltage is just the potential energy pushed from point A-B [measured in joules per coulomb always flowing high to low].

Now voltage is a constant when it comes to cars as its stable enough system to call it a 12volt system. Otherwise I would have fried everything in my car, and so would everyone else. Because of this the only thing you need to worry about is amperage, which also isn't too big of a deal because of fuses. I believe the interior uses a 25amp fuse. So that's a total of 300 watts to be used on the inside of your car. Even after everything else that it powers, that's a **** ton of LEDs Speaking of LEDs, most LEDs operate from 9v-14.5v.

Also your car doesn't produce its max power at idle. The faster the alternator is spinning, the more current it puts out. I believe the max output is at like 4k iirc.

So like I said, you bought shotty leds. Either that or you have some horrifying electrical gremlins and I'd keep the power unplugged until you sort that out. Quit overthinking it man. Go buy some higher quality ones and be done with it.

I knew being an electrician for a couple months and that class back in highschool would pay off one day Also, Box come clean this up for me, and make it make more sense
