best replacement LED bulbs for tailights, license plate, reverse lights, and side view mirror. And what is this CANBUS free thing I hear about with an error code associated with LEDs if anyone knows? Thanks all

I replaced all mine with bulbs from Diode Dynamics and I'm very happy with them. You will also have to install the inline resistors to correct the fast-flash on the blinkers. If you have any questions, call Diode Dynamics. They have great tech support.

Diode dynamic, Morimoto or Acme are the way to go in my opinion. Also depending on the year of you expy you can disable fast flash with Forscan. I have an 07 so I could only disable the rear fast flash and still had to install resisters for the front

Whats "fast flash"?
Basically your blinkers flash fast when you have a bulb blown. They have The same effect with led bulbs due to the resistance differences between and led and incandescent bulb. Typically you can install resistors to make the car think everything is fine but with newer models they are computer controlled so by changing the program it's will blink normal

I had a different set for reverse but they looked to be the same size...side marker is on aftermarket headlights but i think the socket itself is original
