Hi!

 

I have a MY20 Octavia estate 1,5 TSI DSG. I bought from AliExpress these LED-lights to put in the footwells front and back plus in the boot.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32791071534.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1c2f7a2flxnigx&algo_pvid=df528326-b285-49ce-9521-d25e8b96d1b1&algo_expid=df528326-b285-49ce-9521-d25e8b96d1b1-0&btsid=0ab6f82315977461004262767e4930&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

 

Everything works fine (tough to get them to fit... very tight fit but after grinding them down and so on, they did fit) altough my question:

 

In the footwells they shine TOO bright. I can adjust them in the infotainment, but i assume because they are LED, they doesn´t use that much power, so the "steps" to adjust the light is too narrow. The least bright is too bright, if you understand.

Does anyone know if it´s possible to code via ODB11 (my friend have one, I dont) so the car knows it´s LED that´s fitted? I would like them to shine very little when driving, just like the originals with halogen bulbs.

 

Much nicer light with LEDs! Not the yellowish tint anmore. (I also switched the one in the door to the ones from superskoda with ghost-light, and the pedals and footrest to more sporty-ones)  

 

Also, another question - I switched all T10 interioer lights to LED, but now when the car is locked, the glow a little? They turn completely off if I switch the interior-light-switch to OFF, and when I drive they are off, but when parked they glow. Is this possible to fix?

 

Sorry for my swedish-english. 😛

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Björn

Hi Bjorn. I replaced all my interior lights with LED bulbs from Osram on my 2019 VRS. I didnt need to do any coding. I can adjust the footwell lighting to a very low level and I dont have any LEDs glowing when the car is locked. Sounds like this is could be caused by the type of LEDs you have used. The Osram ones fitted easily with no adjustments required.

Thanks for your reply!

I used Osram in the ceiling (these: https://www.diodhuset.se/osram-led-retrofit-w5w-6000k-cool-white) But still, glows a little. 😕

 

In the footwell, did you put Osram there as well? How did you manage that? The original are sealed, so difficult to change just the bulb, isn´t it?

I looked at a youtube-video of a 2019 Octavia, and it had regular T10 bulbs in the footwell-compartment - but I have a sealed version! That´s why I bought completely new from aliexpress instead of installing Osram-leds.

 

The closest one is from my boot - possible to change only the bulb (and the other one is from front and rear footwell compartment):

 

Even the contacts is different:

 

If I could use normal T10 led-bulbs in the footwell, I could just bought a bulb with less light, but now I don´t have that oppertunity. 😕

You can pry open the metal housing if you're careful. There's a standard T10 bulb in it

Try this
