Yes, the CANbus friendly type LEDs are fine for all the normal bulb places, but a CANbus LED on its own won't work as indicators for the reason mentioned. The indicator circuit is unique in this regard. The ballast resistors needed here aren't for fixing the CANbus, they're a 10-20watt heavy duty type that consume the same power as the 21watt indicator bulbs. As a power saver, they're no different from standard bulbs, though I suppose they'll last longer if the resistors don't burn out
