It should be cheap to sort - the flicker (on a 2002) can be sorted via coding (turning off the cold monitoring), the warnings can be removed by coding off the hot monitoring. Both of these are "free" if you have the tools.
You should then have a set up that works well and won't melt the housings! ![]()

There a couple of sources for LED bulbs for all applications that are plug and play. No error, no flickering.

I've been very happy with my LED signals vs. halogens. Having to run a resistor does suck as it certainly reduces on of the biggest selling points of LED. But it looks better and has instant on/off which is important to me. Here are what mine look like:

Just FYI, the regular incandescent lamps aren't halogen - they are just normal tungsten lamps.
Halogens lamps generally have a "pinched off" glass envelop, part of the manufacturing process. Tungsten... ![]() Halogen...

Great Video Upload CW.
I went the Prime route - not so much for it's speedy delivery, but the easy return guarantee from 'zon, even if fulfilled ~by prime but sold on Amazon". In my case, the front and rear turns, I bought specifically canbus ready. The brakes and such, no, but I guess I'm taking a roll of the dice to see the behaviour as such. The brakes, backups, rear fogs were all $20 a pair. The canbus ready ambers were more like $55. Here's hoping for a CAP free pNp install |

Front Turn Signal Bulbs The white switchback function of those bulbs doesn't work in my truck, but that's fine. The signals are bright and function properly which is far more important to me. Installing the resistors is a nuisance though. They were a 4 pack for $7.99 also on Amazon prime. Just went through my orders to find them. Let us know how you get on with your canbus versions. I'm sure they just have resistors built into their circuitry to fool the canbus, but the ease of install will be worth the higher price and easier install for most.
