Has anyone tried a pair of these, or anything else similar ?

Xenon White Super Bright Version 6 LED 501 Type Bulbs

I'm looking to replace the standard sidelight bulbs in my Fabia vRS and came across them.....

Also has anyone attempted to change sidelight bulbs in a Fabia that has Xenon headlights fitted or is it the norm to take them to skoda to get them changed ? If so, how much do you think they'd charge if i supplied my own bulbs ? (LED ones)

Any help is much appreciated

I just used the blue vision bulbs that came free with my vision plus dipped beam.. I've not got any LEDs anywhere on my car, oh hang on, yeah I have I just remember where I've shoved a few.

Where have you shoved a few

You can do it yourself if you really want to.

TBH, there's soooo little space between the rear of the covers and the battery / fuel pump (I think) that's it's major hassle to change them.

I tried changing the sidelights in my ex-furby with xenons and ended up half dismantling the front of the car 'cos I dropped a bolt.

If any bulb is blown, then I think the dealer would change it FOC. If it's a "styling" bulb then all will depend on how friendly the dealer is

I've "modded" two of the three internal light bulbs. It needed doing though for better ambient light.

I dont think a Skoda garage would install the led lights for you... coz they aint euro approved.. ie technically they are illegal.

i bought a set a while back and they were utter rubbish. they dont suit the fabias headlight shape, and a couple of the leds failed after less than a week. i got a replacement set which did the same thing.. so eventually i got some of the bluevison free with the powerbulbs order... and they are much better... brighter and havent broken yet.

Xenon headlights are a pain to change bulbs in... skoda would want to take the headlights out so will prob charge an hours labour... save youself hassle and dont bother

Nice one

I've had some of the osram indicators like yours before on my old car....just ordered some of these to replace my front and rears:

Silvatec

I noticed on your pictures that you've got stanadard headlights and not Xenon's....Yours might have failed due to them being too close to the headlight bulb as apparently a part of them is prone to melting causing them to flicker/not work if mounted within 3 inch of the normal headlight bulb due to the heat :thumbdwn:

I think in the Xenon units, the sidelight bulb is further away than in standard ones so fingers crossed I'll be ok
