Too clear up a misconception, the LED light warning issue is not a Canbus issue. The ECU monitors the current draw of the light and throws an alert/code if it senses too much (a short) or too little (blown bulb) current between the ECU and the various bulbs on the bike. The Canbus system is strictly a communication system that allows the ECU to communicate with the display. It has nothing to do with the ECU monitoring the current draw of the bulbs I .don't know where or why "Canbus compatible bulbs" got it's moniker.

I found this information useful and it makes sense to me. Either way I get an error using the same bulb as Dave who did not get an error. Yes the bulbs could have been manufactured differently, but I suspect that the different data OR electrical load profiles are leading to the error. I am no electronics engineer so I have to defer to what the research tells me.

I have ordered these resistors to try off of Amazon. The other option is a "decoder" but I like the heat sink on the resistors.
If they work I will add wire to install the heat sinks outside of the headlight housing. Denali makes an adaptor for the 194 Led but cost twice as much.
