"CAN Bus LED bulbs are LED bulbs which are made specifically for CAN Bus-equipped vehicles. These bulbs work with your vehicle's advanced computer system, so when your vehicle's computer reads them, they respond back correctly". They work on the P38, basically they are designed with a ballast resistor to draw the same current as a tungsten filament bulb

What is CAN bus and how does it work?
The CAN bus system enables each ECU to communicate with all other ECUs - without complex dedicated wiring. ... The broadcasted data is accepted by all other ECUs on the CAN network - and each ECU can then check the data and decide whether to receive or ignore it.

Another bit of crap German engineering, it should never have been applied to cars.

The advantage is that it is easily scalable. The disadvantage is like any network, if there is only 1 path and that path breaks somewhere then everything downstream goes too, a bit like your okd fairy lights.

Reverse lights throw an error with LEDs. Worth it though. I have the Halfords off-road ones. Very good.

there are no advantages in a car IMO only disadvantages, a radial system is much better and critical systems should effectively be stand alone with just reporting to the central control.

I agree. Guess canbus is cheaper too - less wire.
