I want to order LED's for the interior on my 04 Esky, do you need canbus LED's? Or regular LED's are fine?

Get the CANBUS ones. I had some none canbus bulbs and they didn't dim well and acted strange before finally blinking constantly and or dying. Likely some el cheapos... and generally the CANBUS bulbs are better quality.

superbrightleds is reasonable and supposed to be good stuff.

The non canbus ones did "work" btw but always acted strange when dimming.

I had an OBS Tahoe did the interior lights plus the cluster and they worked great just couldn't dim them like your saying, which wasn't a huge deal to me wanted everything bright

Our vehicles are non canbus. Not sure why your LED's didn't dim, mine do. Might have just been cheap quality.

Yeah like I said, they were cheapos. They worked, without error messages or what have you. They would cut out or flicker when dimmed. Always bothered me.

the el cheapo non can bus didn't work for me when i replaced the vanity lights and dome lights etc. i would have to keep opening the vanity (btw i mean sun visors lights) to fix a dim one elsewhere etc. canbus worked fine. also tsoem cheapies are physically too short for the map lights sockets
