LOL, do you want a prize?
Oh, and you're welcome for fixing the huge problem!
I just got around to reading through some of the comments in this thread. I am a new owner of 2017 Golf R. I installed the Euro 7.5 refresh tails. I got my wiring kit from JBale just before he put production on hiatus. Reading these complaints about throwing codes encouraged me to write something. I haven't checked for the bulb out code myself but I certainly will. But even if I'm throwing a code, like others here, it is inconsequential to me. I've got a fantastic set of lights working on my car. Even the VW dealer service team and sales advisors were complimenting them. That said, let's all remember, like many other enthusiast mods, this is really just a hack. We are putting something to use in a way that it wasn't originally intended. I think its brilliant that folks like JBale figured out a way to make this work on our cars. If he needed to use a wire that formally powered a lamp to power the control module in the new light, kudos to him for figuring that out. If we need to suppress a low voltage warning on the lamp line to enjoy the lights so be it. In an ideal world would I prefer it was plug and play without any of this? Sure. But that's not always the real world. Sometimes we need compromise for what we really want and I really wanted the 7.5 tails. I recall with my MK6 downpipe, I had to implement ECU tuning that suppressed a code that got thrown because of the downpipe. Same situation. Its a hack. It works for its overall objective. Don't sweat the small stuff. Enjoy the lights or stay stock.
The non-fog also has the fault when scanning the car. Jeremy provided a fix for his harnesses though.Just skimmed through the last couple of pages. My non-fog jbale harness has worked perfectly, zero warning lights or issues. Are the problems mostly with the fog harnesses?
Haven't scanned it yet but assuming mine has that fault, will it affect getting an inspection sticker? If it doesn't, I honestly could care less as the lights work great. If it does (since they plug in to the obdii for inspections here in MA), what would you guys recommend?
Inspection is due in about 6 weeks so have time to figure it out.

JBale has been awesome! He's been super responsive and helped the community here.
Seriously. I was pming him non stop over the weekend for help with my install which should have gone much smoother. I even connected a wrong pin and needed an explanation on how to unpin. Anything that could have gone wrong went wrong lol yet he answered all my questions almost right away.
Very happy I got his harness before he stopped making them. Couldn't imagine how long it would have taken me if I had to troubleshoot with a company via email.
