Hi.

Has anyone swapped out the rather dim red lights for these or have you found something cheaper / better?

Thanks all.

I stuck in some very tasteless projectors on my Octavia which ended up being free which I think is a good price.  The plug was wrong and when I asked to send them back and order a different set they said don't bother, we will refund you.  I then cut the plug off and put on connectors that would fit into the cars socket.

I should have got the one above but got the ones with a single plug.  My mistake but it worked out OK in the end.

They're interesting!

I've ordered 4 of them at eBay from China with 18 LEDs in each one. I've got one from my fabia vrs which I tested first and they work/fit

Would also be interested in this as I swapped them out in my MKII before but they where different fittings which had 50/50 clear and red sections for puddle lights and warnings I guess.

Thanks for the link, but those are not red - I thought we were talking about the red lights on the side of the doors

I was although Superskoda offer both red and clear/white. I guess I would like to stick with red.

Apologies, should have been more specific. :(

I've changed every bulb inside the interior of the mk3 vRS except for the red door lights but they are 501 T10 bulbs as I did have a look at them ages ago but weren't bothered about changing them if I'm honest.

 

Won't something like this do

If you'll stick with red ones, then also go for red color emiting LEDs. If you go with white emiting LEDs, red reflector will filter out much off the light - red LEDs will be more bright and also color will be more vivid.
