Evening all,

 

Simple answer to this i'm sure..

 

I need to change the side lights on mk2 fl octavia. This has the xenon lights in - i've seen the videos on removing standard bulbs but not a guide on mine. Is it a similar process?

 

From what i've seen the side light bulb is attached to a type of stork you just pull out?  

 

Is there anything i should be vary of removing this unit?  Don't want this becoming expensive. 

This is what Mr Skoda has to say about the task:

You wont be able to do it without taking the whole headlight unit out, simple job   (unless the xenon is a different h/light unit from the halogen)

A plastic nut behind the h/light needs unscrewing , A hook thingy sits on the bottom side of the headlight,  Pull the lever outwards and the whole unit comes away . Disconnect the multiplug and its out.  then follow the above instructions.

It will just push back in no bother. 

 If your changing for LEDs then check that the bulbs and in the correct way .  Just plug the multi plug back in and s/lights on to check,  if they dont work remove the bulb and rotate it 180 degrees
