Only downside to LEDs is that the trailer/caravan/bike rack isn't covered by the car alarm, unplugging the cable with the car locked sets the alarm off (factory towbar) -

The switch looks smart, how easy is it to pop the old one out of the dash?

Tape over them? Either opaque or use some of the stickers you can get on eBay to dim the blue circle on Sky Q boxes.

Seat heater has BURNED through seat!!!
Cakemonster replied to Kevin Pallett's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
