    Hello Pete,

    many thanks, but it is only half help.

    Our Spyders need bulbs (especially the brake light bulbs) that are canbus compatible.
    If we use the normal LED bulbs the Spyder will throw a code that causes it to run in Limp Home mode, because the canbus is thinking there's a broken brake light.

    Maybe I can simplify this ...... All Spyders have bulb MODEL / TYPE numbers assigned to them ..... Like H-3 or 9005 ( theses are for headlights ) .... take the bulb out and use the number printed on the bulb to find it's LED equivalent ..... Make sure the LED's are Can-bus ready ..... good luck .... Mike

    That's what I did. I used the bulb designation and searched for LED equivalent. Further research may be needed to find ones that are Can-Bus ready.
