...CANBUS?....
There is another solution, bulbs with a resistor built-in. From e-bay:

CANBUS is a new word for me.

I believe LED bulbs do not generate alot of heat/much less wattage used. For you can touch them + not get burnt vs a regular bulb/higher wattage. Therefore, you will may need a snow brush to remove any excess ice/snow as always with the regular bulbs in the rear.

Signal Speed
Sorry to thread hack but is it possible to to change the speed of your turn signals? I bought some Spec D tails for my 05 Tc about 6 months ago and just wondered if you could slow it down a bit since the OEM setting is kinda fast for the LEDs.

yeah, you need to get an electronic flasher instead of a regular one. you can buy one at any car shop

the second post has a link to the diagrams (though you should be able to identify it easily.
he also has a link to an led flasher. but you should be able to go to any auto store and tell them you need an electronic flasher (instead of a mechanical one). then you just un plug the one in your car, and plug in the new one.
