I used these in the boot, and they are very bright, no need for the adaptor cable as they plugged into the existing connector: https://a.aliexpress.com/_BO0NBR For the footwell lights I used these, on the lowest setting they are a nice brightness. They were a tiny bit loose, so I added some cloth tape to 2 sides and now perfectly tight: https://a.aliexpress.com/_BSTVe9

Got any pics? Did the plastic surround fit without modification?

This is the link to the kit. https://a.aliexpress.com/_BPw9fJ They sent the wrong connection cable, just got unlucky. So I ordered a new cable and usb pod thing. It's all fitted perfectly. I also managed to damage the cigarette gloss black surround with some scratches, and bent the cigarette socket a little, so being fussy I ordered a new cigarette socket and surround from Skoda-parts.com https://www.skoda-parts.com/catalog/octavia-2/spare-parts/electrical-equipment/interior-lighting-lighter-484.html The hardest bit was removing the cigarette socket to gain access to the plug. The rest was pull and unscrew.

Flushed with recent success using the wealth of information on this site, I've fitted 2 rear usb sockets. I got the car in March, and I started this in May, so it's taken a little while, but I ordered various parts in different attempts. Once I decided to go for the kit from AliExpress, and got all the parts it only took 10 mins to change over.
