The reason sellers don't provide much info is, these products are "hacks" and not really legitimate parts.
LEDs consume less power than incandescent bulbs. The power supply for the bulb notices that less power is being burned and assumes that the bulb has blown out.
"Error-free" LEDs also consume less power, but additionally, they have a resistor that wastes enough power that your car doesn't think the bulb is blown. It's kind of stupid if you think about it. The resistor turns that wasted energy into heat, just like the old bulb did; entirely negating the benefit of using an LED.
Yeah, it looks cooler, and I guess that's worth something.
CANBUS is the communication system that your car's computer uses to talk to the light fixtures. The LEDs themselves do not connect to the CANBUS network; so whether it says CANBUS or not on the LED itself doesn't make any difference. What's CANBUS is the connection between your car's computer and the module that powers the light bulbs.
