  1. I had a look earlier but it says I have my low beams already enabled. I don't have fog lights installed in my car so I wonder if I select that will it work?
  2. I think that's exactly what I'm looking for! will check it out when I'm in the car later. Thanks for your help!
  3. Thanks for the reply, Do I need to flash the headlights every time before leaving the car in order for this to work?
  4. Thanks for the reply, I had a look through it and couldn't see anything. The only one is setting it to manual where you have to flash the headlights before leaving I believe. I was wondering is there a way that the dipped beams come on when unlocking the car.
  5. I have recently retrofitted my 2011 Skoda Octavia mk2 with automatic headlights, and I have turned on the Coming Home feature, but it only turns on the DRL and not the main headlights. I was wondering: Is there a way of doing this? I have the OBDeleven, so I can code it in, but I'm not sure where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  6. Okay so I fixed the issue, sort of. I got an OBDeleven scanner and it showed some short/grounding issues with the rear lights so this is something I will have to look at soon. I cleared the errors and I still had a fault for the LED reg lights. I programmed in using the OBDeleven scanner that they were LED and now the bulb light on the dash is fixed! My radio is now not working but that's a story for a different day 😂 thanks for your help!
  7. Thanks for the reply man! Will have a look at this when I'm home. I had a look again yesterday after work. Basically, I put LED reg lights in and because they're bigger I had to bend the metal prongs of the bulb holder in order for the LED to fit and I believe that was causing the issue with the ordinary bulb as it wasn't holding the bulb tightly in place. I am going to put the old bulbs in when I get home and see does that fix the issue. Will keep you updated, thanks again
  8. Hello, I have a Skoda Octavia MKII (2011) I have recently got an orange light bulb warning on the dash. I had the lights checked when I was getting my headlights aligned and the mechanic wasn't sure why the light was on as my lights were all working. I then noticed one of the days my left reg light was out so I thought that was the reason the light was on. The warning on the dash would come on intermittently but would always go off. I then noticed the light would only come on if I turned on my lights but at this point all lights in the back of my car were working. I was doing a pretest for my full driving license (Ireland) and my driving instructor mentioned the light to me and I told him what I said above. He then proceeded to check my lights and we figured out my reverse lights were not working, both of them which I thought was weird. So I went to halfords and got new bulbs and put them in and they still weren't working. So I put the old ones back in, as the bulbs looked fine and now they are back working but now the left reg light isn't working again. I returned to halfords and got two new reg lights, I replaced the left light and turned the car on and it worked so I thought grand it's sorted now. So I replaced the right one and then the left one stopped working? which was previously working. The new lights are LEDs but I can't imagine that would make a difference but I could be wrong. I just wanted to post on the form to see if anyone has experienced this before before I start pulling the car apart looking for wire loom damage? I read on this forum it could be to do with a green fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay but I will check later when I'm home from work. Thanks in advance!
  9. So these aren't H7 then no? I guess I'll just have to get another unit. Thanks for you're help.
  10. Yeah I know, the LED unit came with instructions I I took it off and tried putting the plastic clip in first put it doesn't attach to anywhere and the bulb would just fall out. I'll give it another go later today, and let you know how I get on. I'll get more pictures too.
  11. The LED came with the black plastic clip that doesn't have the two metal bits that stick out like the halogen bulb does. So the LED won't slot into the headlight housing.
  12. Thanks for the reply! No it doesn't light up, the plastic on it is too small to fit into the slots. I thought because it's a H7 that it would work? Any recommendations on H7 LEDs that are just plug and play?
  13. H7 LED bulb fitting issue. I recently bought a Skoda Octavia and have been doing little interior and exterior upgrades to the car. The most recent was replacing the halogen H7 bulbs to LED H7 bulbs. I purchased the Novsight LED lights bulbs after been told it would fit my car. Since receiving the bulbs I haven't been able to install them. The tab on the new LED bulbs doesn't slot into the groove that the halogen bulb did. I have bought adapters off Amazon that I thought would solve the issue but I'm still none the wiser. It's probably something really simple that I'm missing but I was wondering could someone "shed some light" on the issue and maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong?
