Headlight range motor replacement video

[eben80]

Hi all,
I did this at least once already so this last time I reckoned I'd make a video in case it helps anyone.
How to replace the headlight range motor on your Mk1 facelift Skoda Octavia with halogen lights. 

PS: Turn on the captions.

Hi,

From what I can see they are different parts:

Facelift is 1J0941295A while pre-facelift is 1U0941295A

Thanx for the info. Comparing how they look according to the images, they seem the same. 1U prefix is used for Octavia and 1J is for Golf (and Passat probably).

They look different I think. The J is rectangular while the U is more square.
