What model of Octavia are you fitting them to?

 

just checked your profile. If it’s a vRS just deactivate them altogether using OBDeleven. That’s what I did. Then the LED bar takes the DRL and sidelight functions.

The bulbs in my car are just a generic cree led 501 bulb.

 

BUT!!!! The one thing to be aware of is the hole which you push the bulb into isn't wide. A lot of led bulbs which a lot of diodes on are too big and won't fit.

This one works very well, my first set lasted more than 150k km then I bought the same again.

Coding not needed so it's just a simple swap.

Much brighter than the regular T10 bulb and provides homogeneous light.

Even the bulb out warning came on when one of the old LEDs failed.

What channels do you change to do this?

Controller 09

Security Access 31347

Adaptations

 

The channels you need to change are:

(1)-Leuchte16BLK SLB35BLK SL KC9-Lasttyp 16 to Nicht Aktiv

(1)-Leuchte17TFL R BLK SRB3TFL R BLK SR KC3-Lasttyp 17 to Nicht Aktiv

Thanks for that, looking at the options you can set the ECU to accept an LED bulb. I guess that would mean any LED would work without an error?

Yes, once it’s set. I had mine set to LED but one blew so when waiting for another pair to arrive from China I coded them off 

 

 

LED’s look good though

Hi, this is to turn OFF side lights bulbs,

 

If anyone is looking for dash error free coding, if you install LED bulb, you need to change coding to:

 

(1)-Leuchte16BLK SLB35BLK SL KC9-Lasttyp 16 to 6 - LED Lichtmodul 

(1)-Leuchte17TFL R BLK SRB3TFL R BLK SR KC3-Lasttyp 17 to 6 - LED Lichtmodul
