it does not state canbus friendly, so I would say no...

Personally I would not use led bulbs for brakes...
If the led fails, the resistor which forms the canbus friendly bit continues to tell the system the bulb is ok, so you could have no brake lights and no warning that the led's have failed...

I would stick to good quality incandescent bulbs...

Just had a look at this in a little more detail - it says:

Beam pattern: 360°

The angle given is usually the angle at the apex of the cone of light, there this would imply that this LED even shines backwards :duh: Very impressive stuff... but I'm not quite sure I believe it. :duh:
