Hello

 

Would anyone be able to tell me where I could find a guide on how to change my DRL / sidelight bulbs on my Fabia MK2 VRS Petrol 2014 (CTHE)?

 

These lights are where the fog lights normally are. I've tried looking on the Forums but can't seem to find anything.

 

I've just recently bought the car and the left DRL light has started to flicker. 

 

 

I could be completely wrong here. But I think you need to replace the whole unit Rather than a single bulb .other than a main dealer try a breakers / super skoda /Ebay 

^^^ Exactly this.

@wah007

If the 4 lights in the DRL are flickering that sounds like the connection that is the issue.

A poor connection / broken wire or corrosion and not a new unit needed.

 

Take it off and clean up the rear and see how it looks. 

 

Briskoda search function usually works.  Fabia mk2 DRL or vRS DRL finds stuff.

Thanks guys, I would never have thought that the whole unit would need to he replaced. I will try removing the unit and check the connections first and see if there's a loose connection / damaged wires somewhere.

 

Thanks for the link to the guide on how to remove the light, I did come across this previously but could not find it again.

EDIT: I've checked the lamp properly at night and can see that only one bulb is flickering, the rest are fine. Even when I turn the sidelight on the bulbs dim but I can still see flicker. So looks like I'll need to replace the unit.
