Thanks, that's awesome that you're willing to make/publish these videos! Helpful for a lot of people I think.

@Vahids not sure if it's yours or not, but a very poor review appeared on the Ali link you posted. Not good news.

Is that the clear version? My Superskoda / Kopacek one is the smoked version and looks like this, there's just a piece of black plastic at the end, blocking all the light. They told me clear version was the same, otherwise I would have tried that one.

I did not post the ebay-URL ( https://www.ebay.ie/itm/2x-Dynamic-LED-Side-Repeater-Mirror-Indicator-light-For-Skoda-Octavia-5E-MK3-/313735308504 ) by the way, it was Iway. But are you sure it's not for Octavia? PS: how did you end up from GRD (nice find in that video by the way!) to finding that aliexpress URL? It's not metioned in the text.

That's so strange! Kopacek must have changed them then... Too bad.

Do you mean https://www.ebay.nl/itm/313735308504 looks like it's for Superb instead of Octavia? Or do you mean another link?

You had no problems with them. But are they visible from inside and from the back? Is the little square visibly blinking as well? Because the ones I got from SuperSkoda are not visible from behind/inside and the little square is just black instead of blinking. Anyway, will wait for Vahid's experience and will wait for the ebay-seller that I contacted response

It appears the have changed the product. The Youtube vid also shows it's visible from inside, but doesn't seem to match with what they're often selling now.

Hmmm, possibly. Would like to be a bit more sure before ordering, have contacted the seller. In 1 picture it seems there's clear plastic at the tip, but in another the light-strip seems to end abrubptly with a black piece of plastic blocking the light. Will wait for the sellers answer. Thanks for the link, no matter the outcome!

Kopacek told me the clear leans units act the same as the dark lens. If I understand you correctly, the clear leans acts a little better? But still I wonder, there apparently used to be versions on Ali/Ebay with the little square in it working and reasonable vision from the back. But I can not find them at the moment.

The Youtube video shows it must be possible: But the link in that video discription (and Iway's link as well) go to a product https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32912405005.html and in the picture of it of the back view, it seems the light is covered by black plastic, so I don't expect it to work as in the video.

I bought the Superskoda/Copacek version. The little square in the mirror is no longer blinking, and at the side it is also a lot less visible from behind the vehicle. Too bad. The aliexpress-link provided, according to the pictures in it, also will not light up the little square, so it seems the product has changed? Does anybody know of a version that for sure is visible from the back and in the little square?

Thumbs up!

@pab567 thanks for your help! May I just ask: why do you do this? Just from the goodness of your heart?

Yes, I have an appointment coming up with a VCDS-enthousiast who should be able to clear the error for me. Thanks for the heads up.
