Removing the headlights - Front bumper must be removed?

[MatanRR]

Or should Is will it go off by just unscrewing a few bolts?

Google ERWIN SKODA for very cheap online access to official workshop manuals.

Have you tried looking on youtube, that's how I found out how to do my octavia's

To remove the headlight entirely you have to take the bumper off and then remove three screws.

To remove the bulbs only, in most cases you don't have to remove anything besides the rubber caps. The exception is that for some bulbs you have to unscrew the diesel filter or the battery to gain access to the rubber cap.

I haven't tried it myself, but I am pretty sure, yes.

 

Quoting the workshop manual:

 

For an easier fitting of the headlight, mark its position in a suitable manner (e.g. with marker, adhesive tape) before slackening the screws.

– Switch off the ignition and all electrical components.

– Remove front bumper

– Release screws (arrows)

– Disconnect plug and remove headlight (1)

Thank you.

Another question then, anyone tried retrofitting a projector kit into the headlights?

What do you mean exactly?

[camelspyyder]

There is a factory Xenon headlight.

 

Euro 660 for a set from superskoda.com

Change headlights for xenon and "retrofitting projector kit into headlights" mean two different things...

[MatanRR]

thank you igor - you are exactly right.

The Xenon headlights are Euro 660 without shipping and costumes, I have purchased a projector kit with angel eyes, an led strip and a xenon kit for less than Euro 150

I will try to take as much photos as I can from the project and I'll post it here.
