Well, I am not quite sure....
In my experiences with my LEDs EVERY time I have bought non Cbus LEDs they have started flickering and flashing after a few months, some even straight away.... About 2 months ago I decided to just check out the Cbus versions of the same LEDs and to my surprise not one has started flashing yet... So this leads to my question, is it remotely possible that the 6th Gen Celica (Or maybe even the ADM version) has a canbus system? or have I just had a statistical anomaly lol --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Canbus have more LED's therefore a more even distribution of the voltage to the LED's. In order to keep the LED's from blowing you have to wire in resistors in order to make up for the remaining voltage. Unless you happen to have the perfect amount of LED's with voltage that add up to the source voltage. Even then in most cases only through a combination or serial and parallel arrays and resistors will you get it matched. I've always wondered that about the bulb replacements that're offered, if they use a resistor in the base or just go with it and hope it doesn't blow within the return period.

All the ones I have used have had a resistor in the base sheath.... The canbus LEDs supposedly have some other form of resistor compared with the non canbus systems so that the signals and fluctuations do not get to the actual LED.... I am really not sure about what has been happening with my LEDs or if it is just a complete coincidence and bad luck >.< Also, the canbus LEDs are the EXACT same as my noncanbus, they just lack a plastic sheath and have a different type of resistor on them, the amount of LED's and the style of each are the exact same otherwise.
