Would like to have a more consistent luminance between the main xenon lights (I think) and the corner/fog light. Right now the xenons are much more blue in hue than the corner/fog. Has any one fitted other lights to these, perhaps with a more blue hue similar to the main? What type of light did you use?

 

Cheers

Osram Night Breaker Laser bulbs will be a lot more of a match and give a LOT more light.
LED bulbs fitted to a headlight not designed for them would be an MOT fail in the UK.

Cheers! Haha, yeah I don’t why I wrote LED in the title, maybe because that’s what everybody talks about these days... 😅

Do you know of any that doesn’t give that much light but still have a more white hue? I’m really not interested in maximizing the amount of light, just changing the hue to a more white luminance. I mean it’s okey if they omit a bit of more light but nothing crazy.

They are legal lights, I have been using Osram Night Breakers in my cars and motorcycles for about 15 years.

Thanks, I’ll give them a try. 👍

Tried a search and only found "Osram Night Breakers Laser", are these the same?
When reading upon these it specifies that they are used as high beam/low beam, I'm looking for bulbs to replace the fog lights?

I also found a variant called "Osram Night Breakers Silver" but no "Osram Night Breakers".
Do I have to check anything else than the socket (h7) and that they are halogen/xenon base lights in order to make sure they will fit?

Cheers

Laser is the latest and best bulb
I have them in my high beam and fog lights with standard xenon dipped beam.

I do too but the Xenon's on the face lift are still Bi-Xenon. So when you flick onto high beam you get the halogen high beam and the Xenons on high beam so 4x high beam units. 

 

Except when using high beam flasher when the Xenon's are off. Then you only get halogen high beams

Exactly what he is wanting to achieve, nearer colour temperature between the two.

I took a look at the fog lights today and there are actually two bulbs. In order to have both bulbs the same color temp as the main xenon lights, what would the second (not the osram night breakers) be?

If you mean 2 bulbs in the fog lights, one is the daylight running light and that goes out when the main headlights are on and the other is the true foglight!

Top bulb is the DRL, bottom one the fog light.

The original Yeti and the Facelift both have Bi-Xenon with Active shutter.  The Xenon does dipped and high beam on both models.

 

The Facelift has additional halogen high beams. The original Yeti doesn't.

So what does the pre F/L use for headlamp flash?
The reason the post F/L has halogen high beam is Bi-Xenon is no good for flashing as it does not strike the arc quick enough.

The prefacelift uses the bi-xenon for headlamp flash the same as the Octy, Superb and most other cars with Hella Bi-xenon with AFS. It's rare to have additional halogen units. 

 

I have had two other cars with the same unit without halogen, they strike pretty quick although reports suggest it's detrimental to ballast life.

 

My old Octavia with just Bixenon and fogs.

That looks very similar to my Yeti with Bi-Xenons and H7s on the inside.
What year was that?

2014, Pre-facelift Mk3 MQB

 

The silver bit at the side of the Bixenon is a little tungsten bulb that most people upgrade to a little LED, it comes on with sidelights and illuminates the lines in the light unit.  There is no halogen high beam

Okey, I never use the daylight running light since in Sweden we always use the main headlights.

But when I turn the cornering lights are activated and lights up both the daylight and true foglights. So, If I would like to have a more consistent temperature on all lights I would need to replace the daylight running light bulb and the true foglight bulb. I've been recommended the "Osram Night Breaker Laser" for the true foglight as I understand it, but what about the daylight running light, what would be a good replacement?

I have a F/L Yeti with Bi-Xenons. I swapped the H7 main beam bulbs for Phillips racing visions 200% which are great. I initially replaced the directional/fog lights with PIAA 5k H8 bulbs but found them to be too 'blue' compared to the xenons and wasn't sure if they were legal. I then changed the H8 again for Osram night breaker laser and they are brighter and a better colour match and ECE approved. I think they're now as good as they can be. 

Regarding front lights in general.

I found these, when I was looking for other things

For the DRL lights, P13W led should work 

Pictures here: https://www.obautodily.cz/skoda-yeti-led-zarovka-p13w-do-denniho-svicenni-super-led-1-kus-4951cz2412/ 

Same bulb has been used for example in B7 A4 drl lights. 

For the fog lights, my local car parts guy recommended H7 Philips Ultinon bulbs. 

 

I don't think any of those would pass inspections, since they are led and look nice...
