Re: LED tail lights
[QUOTE=srs244;921621]what are referred to as CANBUSS bulbs are often referred to as "error free" bulbs also and are so defined because they have the necessary resistance built into the bulb and shouldn't create dash indicator light errors. just my opinion, but with modern LED bulb technology, i would not add resistors to wiring because they generate heat and most locations don't provide either the space or the ventilation to protect against that, but each to his own.
That's true, any added resistor will generate heat, but it should be no problem. A 3 Watt incandescent (original equipment) bulb will generate 3 Watts of heat - that's the way they're specified; so the heat generated by a resistor would be 3 Watts (or a bit less), to avoid the dash indicator light. I agree that the problem with adding a resistor is its size: You may not have room for it. Yes, CANBUS is the way to go.
