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 |------------------------------ |

Well all the LEDs that I have, small and large have some form of resistor.
The CANbus LEDs have an electronic resistor and the others just have your standard ceramic (or whatever it is) resistor... Either way, I am probably going to look into making it myself, I am just so lazy when I have nothing to do and then the rest busy hahaha -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Which most bulbs in cars are 12V, so why they wouldn't go ahead and have the value set for that I'd never know. Worst case scenario the LEDs aren't quite as bright if they were plugged into a 9V (don't even know what car would, but still) harness. It really is worth making your own, you save so much money. That and you can arrange them in ways that it better fits the application at hand. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
