[susi]

Anyone tried the SuperSkoda upgraded lighting unit for the Fabia III?

I have one on the Octavia estate and it is great. But has anyone tried the Fabia III version. Any good?

Save your cash and get a one sided led bulb 

 

I put one in mine and it is more than adequate

 

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331928373554

 

Or something similar

Thanks malcster. Was it easy to install?

[malcster]

Very easy 

 

About 20 seconds it's also the same bulb I used in the glove box

If you want to convert all interior lights:

 

Glove box: W5W (501)
Boot: W5W (501) 
Left rear: C5W 36mm (7546)
Right rear: C5W 36mm (7546)
Right front: W5W (501)
Centre front: C5W 41mm (7576)
Left front: W5W (501)

When I won Lotto (cough) I bought one. Had to file-out the orifice a bit. It is much brighter so I suppose the dog knows how to get out in the dark. (Joke-over.) It is brighter but the filing-bit is true.

Thanks Cobber for the reply and the smile (yeah you guys still have summer in front of you )

 

I gave myself an hours education in ebay W5W 501 lights, and couldn't find anything suitable that was being sold by Di ck Turpin and wanting £8 postage 

 

So I might soon be faking a Lotto win and ordering one from SuperSkoda.

I also got the Fabia III internal map LED lights; front/rear mudflaps; Fabia door-sill sticky-things, from Superskoda. Was happy with them all.

Plus black side-flashes from eBay.

(Got a lot of interest from the ADF Apprentices where I was teaching until the Contractor told me I was too old to work, bye-bye!)

Sounds like my car Except I got standard LED bulbs for the front interior lights, and I had an extra boot light insert I bought for a Yeti years ago (from Superskoda, the boot lights are all the same). But I have also ordered door sills, bumper cover for boot, and boot plastic mat from Superskoda and everything has been great!
