I thought some of these were sold with the capacitator or something to fool the indicator?

Yes, there is a version of outers that will not trigger the "light out," but currently, there aren't any LED inners that will not trigger the lightout.

And most likely will be that way. If you look at the resistor and the box for the outers, there is no way they can make one for the inners like that. There is not not enough room. I think people should stop worrying the "dash" light indicator. I agree with everyone who has removed the bulb that it is a very very simple task.

That is right, there is very little room to fit the resistor. Last I heard, Carson said they are actually designing it, but not sure when it will be released. I think the dash light indicator isnt that big of a deal. Sure it would be nice to have one that didnt trigger it, but if it does, and it bugs you, then you can pull out the bulb, and never worry about it again.

No problem with the sonar (inner ant outer kit) buy at K2Motor's store on eBay. No dash light indicator after installation on my GS.

i like the patterns of the LED on the ones that k2motor sells, but i honestly like the smaller reverse and signal way better. It makes the car look more modern and it looks stock. =) I still need to find a digicam.
