Hello ladies and gentlemen

I am new here and to Skoda. I recently bought a 2008 Superb II Elegance 170 hp saloon ex-demonstrator traded in for a new one. I had intended buying a new estate because of the very enticing zero VAT and two years interest free deal; unfortunately there is a 17 week wait for delivery and the deal ends before then - not even an order qualifies, has to be a done deal. I liked the test drive so much I bought this used car (dealer only had 2 used Superbs!) and sold my 2006 Saab Sportswagon privately.

Now the problem. I took off the Saab a pair of Ring Ursa DRLs which had been simple to set up (feed from a fuse going live on ignition, earth and the third wire from the relay box piggy-backing onto the low beam so that the DRLs went off when the car's own lights went on). The Skoda is too old to have OE DRLs in the fogs and the DRL setting in the car itself via set up turns on the low beam headlights but they are too much. The car is black and I drive motorways a lot and already there are plenty of new cars with legally-required DRLs and I fear it won't be long before a car without them becomes almost lost to a driver pulling out into the overtaking lane (especially a black car and especially on motorways).

The cheapest / easiest solution would be to install the Ursa lights under the front bumper - but how? The loom to the lights is impossible to understand. I can only just about figure out where to earth them, and the fuse layout under the bonnet does not match the manual to get a feed.

Has anybody fitted such lights? I have searched this site but the references all seem to be to factory-fitted ights, and it is all far too technical for me. Never underestimate the stupidity of some of us, so if anyone can help please try to make it as simple as possible and earn my grateful thanks (and maybe prevent me getting wiped out by someone who has assumed there is a gap in the traffic). Thanks in advance.

Don't stick on tacky aftermarket LED strips, they look obviously non-OEM and spoil what is a very premium looking car.

Buy the latest fog lights with integral DRL's and get a local auto electrician to wire them up and recode the car's CANBUS.

Will cost you a few hundred quid but will look loads better!
