Upgrading front indicators to leds

Featured Replies

Hi anyone upgraded there front indicators to leds on a Octavia vrs mk3 and is it easy to do?any info would be gladly appreciated 

Check this thread out: 

  Lots of info on there. 

 

I did mine a little while ago. To answer your question it's not complicated but no, it isn't easy, it's a reet pain in the ass unless you remove the headlight completely. There's two ways to do it: The first (and official Skoda way) is to remove the headlight unit which means removing the front bumper to get easy access to the rear of the housing. The second, which most people do, is to squeeze you hand in the little space at the rear of the light and access it that way. This is less complicated the bumper removal but the space to work in is so damn small. Then you cut off the plastic tab that covers the rear of the indicator, swap the bulb, and fit a repair kit to seal it back up.

 

I got the repair kit from my Skoda dealer, can't remember how much but it wasn't expensive at all, a few quid I think.

 

I used these LED's: https://www.horizonleds.co.uk/pw24w-cree-leds-pwy24w-cree-led-50w. They're more expensive than most others you will find online, but I don't trust most of the cheap ones. I'm very happy with these, they light up the whole indicator space evenly, are nice and bright (not too bright to dazzle people though), and look and feel very well made.
