Wanting to switch to led front and rear turn signal bulbs. as well as rear cargo, 3rd brake light and license plate light. I know you are supposed to use the same color bulb as the lens, but im a little stumped on if i need can bus bulbs or not? i know regardless i will have to run resistors on the turn signals so i dont have hyperflash. feel like ive read that on here somewhere but cant seem to find it again. btw, its a 2011 CC Sport.

thanks in advance.

You don't need can bus on the older 4th gens. Just 2013+ have some issues with LEDS

Every single one of bulbs is LEDS and have no problems.
