    Fatherless One, AK is the other partner. I dont think he needs to reply on this one since Mattlock has actually answered their own question. 11 lamps covers all the interiors besides the cubby.

    Hi Joe,

    Just one more question: do your lights have resistors in to stop the ghosting effects that some kits have? I assume they are also CANBUS-friendly.

    (The effect of the LEDs glowing even if the car is turned off)
    MY08 Mk5 GT Sport - sold
    MY14 Tiguan 118TSI - sold (Mazda3 SP25GT in its place)
    MY16 Golf 7R: sold (Caterham Super 7 and Hyundai i30N in its place)

    Good question Mattlock, I hadn't thought of that.

    Answer please, I'm ready to order.

    Btw which kits have this problem?

    Most of the cheap eBay ones and I read a thread from 2012 that suggested that the Bold Sport kit might. They may have changed it since then though.

    I believe that the ECS and deAutoKey kits don't but deAutoKey don't ship to AUS.

    I have to say I believe a lot of sellers/suppliers don't actually know their products very well, they just move boxes, I've found this a few times.

    I just want to deal with a supplier who actually knows what they're selling.

    Becoming harder to find it seems.

    I'm sure deautokey will ship here as I know someone here in Brissy that bought the set. I'm actually thinking of getting then if they dim slowly like the oem.

    I agree and that was a good selling point. They also got a bunch of very positive US forum comments for their kits. When I tried to buy the kit about 4 weeks ago, I got an error message telling me that the kit could not be shipped to an overseas address. Maybe it was a mistake at the time but since then I've been looking for alternatives.

    I read the same positive comments on the forums regarding deautokey and that was the motivation is starting this thread
