Do we have a canbus system? o.O Options

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

Just based on the evidence I'm thinking it's due to the LED's not using the proper wattage on the resistors. Easy way to tell is replace the resistor with the same ohm rating, but with a 1/4W and I bet the bulbs work again. Especially since he hasn't had any problems with the CANbus LEDs, which are more expensive and one would think higher quality throughout. Being everything is fine with the CANbus LEDs I doubt it's his car. I still say just make your own, it is SO WORTH the effort. Save so much money, and you can make them perfect for every application. Key rings are a good example, can make a custom bulb so the ring is evenly lit around.

I remember a saying, "It's the amperage that kills". With electronics the higher voltage weakens the circuit causing arcing and therefore allows for more current to flow and then burn out whatever it may be. So with electronics I suppose you could say both voltage and amperage kills. This is also why people can send electricity from a Tesla coil through their body and light up a bulb in their hand and not die. High voltage, but low current. I have like two or three electrical engineering books around here somewhere, but everything is interconnected. If you're still worried about your car just test where the bulbs go in with a voltmeter/multi-meter.

I replaced the alternator in my brother's Maxima not too long ago, it had a spec sheet of the voltage at certain RPM's and I want to say around 5K it topped out.

I don't think it's my car Well I do and I don't, I mean I think it is because they put out more than 12v. but, there is nothing wrong with that...


Anyway, I am going to start buying LEDs individually and using them anyway when I get the money to buy a bulk lot lol
