Are they CANBUS compatable? |

Does it matter for interior lights.

I thought it was due to the cars circuits monitoring the health of the systems continuously meaning theres a very small current in the system all the time?

Yes I think so. The original lights have a certain resistance, LED lights have a lower resistance. The CANBUS compatable LED lights have resistors built in to make them match the resistance of the original bulbs. Mine are CANBUS LEDs with no problems. |

I put canbus bulbs in my interior lights and had the same problem so went back to standard bulbs,mines a 07 if that makes any difference. |

So is mine. Mine is fine with LEDs interior and exterior. No flickering or staying on. |

CANBUS LEDs have resistors in them, no need to bridge. |

Yes I do as I have stated they are still illuminated when all switched off.

Yep, something ain't right! Sorry, can't help if you have the right LEDs in. |

Never had this with any of my LEDs, just done my Disco. Bought LEDs from advanced factors, the light is awesome.

Fitted a 3w resistor bridging the connections and all is now fine.
