If I'm just looking to change the door lights, map lights, etc. into LED, I don't have to worry about the flicker effect or anything right? Same with if I did the reverse light or the license plate light, etc.?

From reading on this subject, it only seems to be require if you're doing like an LED headlight?

Do our cars have CANBUS? If I don't wanna deal with resistors, should I just get CANBUS error-free LED bulbs?

No you don't need one.

Hmmm, I'm hearing from other sources that I need to get CANBUS/error free LED's?

Are our cars CANBUS equipped? I get the feeling that if my tail lights went out, the car wouldn't tell me....

It would tell you when you use your directional. The side in which the tail light is out would blink very fast, much faster than normal.

Wait so which bulbs do you need CANBUS/error free LED's for? Only tail lights (brake) and signal lights? So for all the interior ones and the license plate light, etc, I can just plug and play a regular LED, yeah?

Also, if I'm not mistaken, all our tail lights are already LED besides the signal and the reverse light?

I switched all those lights about 2 years ago and it was just plug and play nothing besides the new LED lights. Ill try to find the site I used.

I've seen VLED's, superbrightled's, and diodedynamics. I'm leaning towards diode dynamics...

I swapped out all of the interior lights on mine, no issues to report at all.
