Hi

Sorry if this is a daft question. I have searched the forum and although there are lots of posts regarding DRLs none seem to answer my question.

I have just bought an Octavia SE 1.6 tdi and I pick it up tomorrow (Tues 14/02/2012) and as part of the deal the Skoda dealer agreed to fit my set of Ring Aurora DRLs that I got as a Christmas present. However he has come back to me saying that his auto electrician is not happy fitting them as the car has "cambus" wiring. He is just not keen to fit as it's a new car and does not want to tap into the wiring loom. My understanding is that the only wire that needs to be tapped into is the side light positve.

Is cambus wiring an issue in this case or are they just being lazy ?

Any advice welcome.

Thanks from a newbie.

In my oppinion i would stick with the standard bulb housing with the drl and the fogs in one unit but just change the standard drl bulbs for these Bulbs i have done it to my fabia monte carlo. no errors and looks very good, IMO look better than the aftermarket DRL kits.

That Ring Aurora kit you've got is probably better than OEM. I'm serious, had them on my C-Max and they're awesome.

They're talking *******s.

Just get an auto electrician to do them if they're scared. Make sure that the control unit is placed where there is plenty of air.

They have a tendancy to fail as they sometimes are tucked away in the engine bay and will overheat in time.

I fitted mine myself and they were faultless for the 2 years I had the car.

Looks like a handy enough job, on the video but they didnt do a great job of the install wires

Will the new car not have DRL's anyway?

My new car does not have DRLs. No fog lights so no drls.

I am happy to try and fit them myself but was concerned about the dealers comments re the "canbus" wiring. Is that just a red herring or is the canbus really an issue ?
