I actually posted this in a different wrong forum but it was relocated to this wrong forum 🤣 You're absolutely right. I was using the "what could possibly go wrong" technique. 👍

This has not been my best work Looks like I ordered an auto headlight kit for a VW T5, which is the reason for the problem. Same plug, different pins. After the some great support from the guys over at the Ross-Tech forum, I started again from the beginning with assistance from a friend. Turns out it was a blown fuse after all. On a Fabia VRS 2011 dipped headlights/tail lights are on Fuse 35 "Power supply of ignition switch" 5A according to the owners manual. The icon on the fuse panel is a book with a question mark.

Thanks OccyVRS. I'm an old bugger doing young man stuff. You won't want me hanging around moaning that everything used to be better before 😂

Hi As explained in the title, I have caused myself some issues whilst attempting to fit an aftermarket auto headlights kit. I have investigated to the limits of my knowledge. I was hoping someone could advise on how to repair. Fabia VRS 2011. Old style "big" 17 pin light switch. Fitted auto headlight box + switch and the following happened: Dipped headlights permanently on. No control from switch. Rear lights permanently on. No control from switch. Speedo and Rev counter illumination does not light. Dash "Dipped lights" tell tale light on. Realising there was a problem, I removed the box and refitted original switch: Dipped headlights permanently off. No control from switch. Rear lights permanently off. No control from switch. Speedo and Rev counter illumination still does not light. Dash "Dipped lights" tell tale light off. I can go between these 2 states by swapping components back and forth. All fuses look OK but if any can suggest specific one to check, I can double check Main beam/flash works as normal in either state. My assumption is that I have cooked the BCM / Headlight control module. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Ben

Hi everybody. Owned this little beauty for about 9 months. Upgraded to an Amundsen, fitted H&R springs and a wheel refurb so far.
