What did you do to your Octavia today?

The only bulb I have had to put resistors on is the boot on the a3. No others.

So what was the verdict on the residual glow of the LEDs? I oddly noticed mine glowing for the first time at 4am this morning. Can't say I've ever seen them glow before so was a bit odd when I saw it this morning.

I just checked in the garage (absolutely pitch black) and there is not the slightest hint of light from any of my globes.

I know the sunroof setup is slightly different to normal......maybe it helps? (I dont have sunglass holders - have the roof rontrols there instead)

I still have the glow in the A3. Havent got around to trying different globes. Other priorities first. eg RVC, LED reverse lights, just retrofitted RNS-E....

Were they glowing with ignition on or off? I get no residual glow on either car with ignition or switch off.

I was thinking our MkII didn't have the sunglass holders due to the sunroof when the sales guy was showing us but it did. It's just the MkIII that lose it. The sunroof in both sedan and wagon are much bigger this time round though.

With the ignition off and had been off for over a day!!!

It's just really odd as I've gone into the garage before in complete darkness and never ever noticed the glow. So just wondering if it's only recently just started to occur?

Plastidipped the rear badges.

ST Coilovers went in!

Rear still needs lifting a little

Great job! Where did you get your plastidip from? Any particular brand?

Autobarn have the original plastidip. Its overpriced but i couldn't be bothered shopping around online. They do have other brands but went with the original.
