mfeel Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Hi folks, I was looking at superbrightled.com at the led bulbs for my license light bulb. I came at a step, where i have to choose between normal led bulbs, and can bus led bulbs... I dont know which one i should choose. The reason i am changing i bought some cheap led on eBay and they started to flicker. It bothers me, and i hate the yellowish light of the bulbs since all my car is factory equipped with led inside. Another question, for the trunk light, they're also yellowish. I want to buy led. When i opened the cover, they were dome light shaped (212-2), and superbrightled are saying they're 579... Please help me here too. Thanks, i appreciate it. Edited January 8, 2017 by mfeel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Well, if you opened the cover for the cargo light and saw a 212-2, which is what is in my 09, get that type (a festoon I believe). On a 2016 I would go Canbus mfeel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhareFred Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Youll need load resisters or you will get a rapid flash mfeel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i take non can bus? As stated, you will need resistors to make led turns work. I run regular non-canbus LED's in my 2013 interior and license plate. No issues. mfeel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfeel Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks everyone. So here's what I'll do. I bought LED for my license plate a my trunk light. Didnt need to buy any more because my interior is already stock led. I also won't change the exterior flashing, i dont have time to install resistors and all that kit, so i guess ill keep it as it already is. Thanks @OhareFred, @Camper and @jkeaton for the help, I truly appreciate jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoClement Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I changed my rear turn signal for red LED, did not add load resistor and they work just fine. The first time I started the car after installing them it said that my light was burned but I left my turn signal on for about 30sec and everything went back to normal. It's been 6months and they only did that once while driving since then. And I used some cheap LED bulb bought on eBay.

mfeel Posted January 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Maybe because the back lights are already LED? But for the front im more than sure that we need resistors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evlmarine Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Always go with canbus LED, no need for resistors. the cargo lights on the trunk are festoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
