Thanx Papasmurf. I just had time to research it and yeah, I now know the CANBUS refers to the OBDII/Canbus wiring systems in the vehicle and errors thrown cause of them not getting proper wattage/resistance readings.

I've always bought LED's with resistors attached to the motherboards, I just never heard them refered to as Canbus safe LED's before. I learn something new eevryday!

Shurap1, those are some expensive bulbs!!!! And for what the purpose of the lights is, will they be worth $25? Id say just buy some cgheaper ones, but make shre they have a load/resistance built into them. Its east to spot the resistor built into them.
SMD LED's are the way to go.
