Default Re: The quest for canbus LEDs in the tail lights

I'm starting to think "canbus error free" is a crap shoot with our cars. Chinese blinkers I got were listed as such.. Got hyper flash.. pretty much expected.. but even put in backup lights..canbus error. Then purchase high dollar focused lens blinkers.. canbus error free.. singled out to just them.. still hyper flash.. but no canbus error in backup light position.
"Thought" led backup lights would only error out when in reverse.. wrong.. one bulb glowed full time when car was on... error light full time also.. added a 25w ceramic resistor (had one on hand) to the passenger side bulb circuit and no more error light till in reverse.. which was livable .. had added the waldig 2w 100 ohms suggestion to no avail. actually wired three in series and still had error light. Thinking about it.. since I still have those laying around.. I might try adding one in on the tail light circuit just for grins. Being the small resister it wouldn't be so invasive to have back there.
