Hi guys I got a new Skoda Laura(Octavia II Face lift) about 3 weeks back and want to put a HID kit in the low beam. I know it has projectors and it would be good. My question is:

1) I read on Briskoda.net that in case HIDs are installed I would need to hook it up with a VCDS or VAS and change the light setting to Xenon shutter or something. Can the HID gurus here please conform this and also detail of what excatly i have to do?

Thanks a ton

Come on guys im sure someone can help

Just do a search on here and you will find very useful and excellent info from briskodians

Please read the following link from the department of transport. Basicaly, to do it legaly you need to ....

1) Replace the headlamp units with the HID version (type approved for this)

2) Fit self leveling system

3) Fit headlamp washing system

If you do this then your legal.
