I didn't know you could still fit them. I bet they look good, even better with yellow plastic covers on an L&K, but I very rarely use fogs these days. I would definitely do the other exterior bulbs, but the whole Canbus thing sounds a pain.

I've noticed that as I get older, I get more and more annoyed at anything that is badly designed. Car parts, food packaging, road junctions - you name it !

I haven't thought about interior bulbs but I suppose they would look better. Can you buy as a set - I was put off LEDs for the outside because of errors, but I guess no issues for the interior ?

Just wondering what you have done to your facelift Yeti that was worth doing ? Ours is a Dec 2017 registered SEL 4x4 DSG outdoor delivered to its first owner Feb 2018 which we've bought to keep 'forever'. Because of that we've done a few things which my other half wanted:- - Matterhorn alloys (because they looked great on our last Yeti) - SmartLink CarPlay (because we couldn't find an SE L Drive diesel at the time, with satnav) - Black door mirror caps (the grey ones are a bit nasty) - Body colour-co-ordinated (grey) bumper trim panels Looks really good now and mechanically we've had the cambelt changed and gearbox oil and filter done. Recommendations for what's worth doing next that you've done on your Yeti ?😃

I'd bite two bullets. 1) New battery 2) C-tek trickle charger to refresh every 3 or 4 months. My old Subaru is still on the same battery after 11 years as a result and it's not used much.

Yes, I looked at another similar company as well, but they wanted me to post them the headunit... I thought sod it, and waited half an hour at Skoda with a coffee and wifi !

£183 was the cost at Skoda for anyone looking to do the same (March 24). I contacted an independent as well, who said I would need to leave the head unit with them for a couple of days !! No thanks.

From memory back in 2021 when we put the final 2020 update on, you switch on the ignition and head unit, flick the little plastic tab down on the sd card (I think) then push into the sd card slot. Then wait while it whirrs away copying files. I think it took a couple of hours so best to do it in a garage or where you can keep an eye on it with the key in the ignition. You don't need to worry about charging the car battery unless it's showing signs of being on its last legs !

We've just sold our 2015 Yeti with the same sat nav and the 2020 sd card was indeed the latest update. Part of the reason why we bought a newer Yeti with SmartLink as Google maps are always being updated.

Not sure really but are the wheel arch liners and undertray fully intact ? I had a Subaru which was letting a lot of road noise in because the nearside liner was broken. Do you know a friendly local garage who can put in on a ramp to have a look? Our latest Yeti TDi has some wind 'rustle' from the drivers window above 60mph when the wind is in the wrong direction, but impossible to work out where it's letting the noise in...!

Looks ok in a Volvo EX30 kind of way. Modern design language and all that.

Is this complicated - new connectors, wiring etc , or is it unplug the old and plug in the new? I like the the front LED running lights on our latest Yeti, and the LED rear ones look much sharper.

What was your technique ...?

I'm not sure how you can get individual barbs out once in, without having to lever the black frame plastic to the point of breaking.

Impossible without breaking either the black frame behind it or the slots that the silver tags for into.
