So I bought two Halfords H7 477 Dipped beam headlight bulbs advertised as 200% brighter (and just got around to fitting them) , they are certainly a great improvement and recommended As regards as fitting an easy task to pull off the rubber outer caps and the you have to turn the light bulb/connector anti clockwise about 1/4 turn then prise the bulb off the electrical connector put back into the light unit and 1/4 turn clockwise and job done. The nearside was quick and easy the offside just didn't want to turn clockwise to refit, hard to see whats what but did eventually maybe just me and its cold outside. Well worth doing.

Thank you Galaxy - seasons greetings I have just ordered the Halfords equivalent as (for me) they are easier to collect will be able to pick up 27/12 and look forward to the difference fingers crossed not too much of a struggle to fit (petrol car) Advertised as legal so should just plug and play.

Thanks NZ I haven't got round to buying some yet - Halfords also seem to have a good selection Separate issue I gave the inside of the windscreen a good clean with a purpose car window cleaner and microfibre cloth wow thats made quite a difference bit like a fog being lifted. What made it recently worse was wiping off some condensation before the screen cleared itself Wife's car also much better -- highly recommended task

I have a 2015 petrol Roomster and wondered if its possible to change the headlamp bulbs to something a bit brighter, what bought this to mind was over the last few nights I have had to drive some miles in the early hours. The Roomster lights are standard as supplied bulbs - never been changed they work fine but could be brighter, Last night I drove my wifes VW Up and wow the difference much brighter with standard as manufactured bulbs. My question is ----------- should I just replace my current bulbs or look for something a bit brighter? Have others done this? thanks

Fixed Took the tailgate trim off - popped the rubber gaiter between tailgate and body and found 3 wires cut/damaged. Unclipped the wires from one of the clips on the tailgate to get a bit more cable to play with, soldered/shrink wrapped the joints after extended the wires a little and job done. I think the earth wire that was cut was touching a live feed to the boot lock cable or one of the others. Thanks all

Thanks all I will explore the rubber boot/cables as shown very well in the link from ChrisTids and see how it goes, Been away on holiday so be able to get to it soon

Thank you both Car is original standard no water damage, no rodents no towing socket of any sort, no aftermarket alarm I also thought that somehow the lighting circuit is feeding the ignition but how I would resolve that? Something I forgot to mention is that for a while the word immobiliser scrolled across the display but the car started normally. Also the boot lock doesn't - I did swap the lock with another bought from a car breaker and still didn't work. Rear number plate lights not working Is it worth spending £150 per hour asking a Skoda dealer to investigate

My 2015 Roomster has quite a few issues that have just started all at the same time any help or ideas to fix much appreciated. Without a key in the ignition - turn the lights on and you get the full dashboard of lights the same as you would get if you put a key in and turned on the ignition. Start the engine, turn the lights on and turn the key to turn the engine off and even take out the key ,,, the engine still runs,,,,, turn off the lights and the engine stops! The boot unlock/lock doesnt happen All of the lights work except the number plate lights. cheers
