So do any of the interior bulbs need to be CANBUS?

After my little problem here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6145 I just swapped my spare (i.e. original) light unit back in and that now has filament bulbs.
No flickering, no oddness, just a rather (relatively) yellow light which frankly doesn't look great with a beige interior. 
Now, that rear unit has some complex switches linked to the front and several electical components to control how the multiple switch settings interact. I just wonder if the unexpectedly low LED resistance is throwing something into "wobbly" mode.
I'll do a bit of swapping around and report back; might just order some CANBUS bulbs to try, they're cheap enough - a lot less than the whole unit I just bought!
