Yes but the cruise does look at the bulbs to make sure they are there. To LEDs you need to use resisters or maybe the CAN complaint bulbs will work.

Nope.  Vanagon factory cruise doesn't use the brake lights as an input.
They have their own switches.  Check out my video on Youtube for the normal problems and repair of the Vanagon cruise control switch:

Let me know if you need more information.
