Does the term Greenline always imply different gear ratios? I have a 2008 Fabia Estate Greenline 1.4 TDI L3 80BHP (59KW). -At 70mph is cruising at around 2100rpm. -At 80mph is cruising at around 2300rpm. Do, newer Fabias offer the same motorway cruising capabilities? I am actually thinking of getting a newer Fabia. Not completely new. Just newer.

So, to clean them, the safest bet is to take the headlamp units off -bumper cover first- and then clean them through the holder holes. Should they be periodically cleaned?

You mean there is no way to crack them open? And, are 55w bulbs already too much for these units?

A friend of mine who is a mechanic took the plunge and tried to clean the lenses without taking the headlamps units off. Here is the drivers side lens before: And here is the drivers side lens after his first pass: You can still see a bit of cloudiness on the borders of the lens in the second picture. It is really difficult to clean them. I imagine that they are meant to be replaced and not cleaned. In any case, it has made a HUGE difference already. For the better. The next time I can leave the car with him, he will bake the units open and clean everything completely. I will post some more pictures. Highly recommendable to anyone having low beam light level problems. Sidenote: how and why the lenses became cloudy is a good question.

I love my combi. I hate the incredibly low level of low beam light output. If I can't fix it soon, I'll change my car for any other that has reflector headlamp units. Skoda or not.

Ok. After closer inspection, I made a HUGE mistake with the Car Rover H7 LED Lamps. They do have a H7 form. The problem is, I can't adapt the original clip retainer holders to them. The clip should go where the red plastic line of the LEDs is. Can anyone help? The instructions that come with it are close to nothing. And they say that you should take the other one out. And the LED one in. But it does not work like that. So, I apologize to everyone that has already read this topic. The LED is a H7. The original halogen H7 Skoda retainer clip is not directly compatible with the LED lamp form.

There is barely no difference between the original Osram and the Night Breakers I hace tried.They look much brighter in reality than in the pictures. But in any case, pathetic. The LED lights are an incredible difference. But their supposed H7 socket is not like any other H7 I have tried. I don't know if they have another type of H7 socket in China. Even though I bought then through Amazon Germany, they seem to be Chinese. I could not fix them to try them out on the street. And they might be dirty on the inside. You might be right. That is my next move. To try to clen them. Which brings me to my next question. Should projector lenses be cleaned periodically?

Before you order a pair, apparently Car Rovers H7 socket is different as Skodas. I could not fit my LED pair on the Fabia. I just placed one for the picture. But I could not fit it in the end. The sockets are not compatible and there was no type of adapter in the box. Be warned.

I bought them in Amazon Germany. https://www.amazon.de/Rover-AutoLicht-Scheinwerferlampe-DC9V-36V-Fahrzeug/dp/B0166MMMOW/ref=lp_7405150031_1_7?srs=7405150031&ie=UTF8&qid=1481062034&sr=8-7 I have not tested them on the street because I need a permit. I need to see how that would work out. They do look interesting. I will post again when I do check them on the streets I drive nights.

I'm starting to think that Projector headlamps were not inteded to be used with Halogens. Here's a rough comparison. Picture 1. Left --> Bosch Gigalight 120. VS. Right --> Osram 64210 Original Replacement Bulb. High Beam. Picture 2. Left --> Bosch Gigalight 120. VS. Right --> Osram 64210 Original Replacement Bulb. Low Beam. Picture 3. Left --> Car Rover 4000LM LED. VS. Right --> Osram 64210 Night Breaker Unlimited. High Beam. Picture 4. Left --> Car Rover 4000LM LED. VS. Right --> Osram 64210 Night Breaker Unlimited. Low Beam.

Will do. Thanks.

Haven't spent that much really. If I do decide to change cars in the next weeks, I'll steer away from projector headlights altogether. It would be a shame because I just changed the timing belt, pump and main belt. And I really like the practicality of the car. But I just can't get enough output from the low beam. My wife has a C3 Picasso with normal reflecting lights. No problems there when I'm driving at night. Even when I'm blinded by another car in front of me. But my Fabia is another story.

I have a Fabia Combi 5J 2008 with projector H7 headlamp units. Bi-Halogen. 70mm f70mm. I have tried several types of Halogen lamps. And I am left deeply disappointed from the low beam output from the car. Specially when driving in extremely dark winding relatively fast roads. Which I do almost everyday to and from work. High beams are absolutely no problem of course. Would new H7 headlamps units help? Even if they are not original Skoda? Or, are they all built alike? Sidenote: HIDs are not an option for me. Unfortunately. Where I live, it is not legal to do it yourself. And I would get into a lot of trouble if I do and I am controlled by police. That means that I would need to let a professional do it. Which would take a big chunk of money out of my pocket. I would prefer to change the car if there is not an easy or cheaper option.

With pre-facelift you mean 2009 and down? I already have a projector headlamp on my 2008. I wanted to see if I could adapt a 2010 to it.
