Two different issues! 1,if the vehicle is equipped with a warning system to tell the driver that there is a bulb blown will throw the warning (I guess this is the can bus ) This is for any bulbs that the vehicle is designed to monitor!

2, conventional flashers work by routing the turn signal circuit current right through them,through their bimetallic contacts which bends/curles from the heat opening the circuit then quickly cools re-gaining it's original shape and making contact again and the cycle repeats. This is calibrated to work with the current draw of the original bulbs.With LEDs in the turn sig.circuit, the current draw is so much less that it will never brake contact and flash.
