Hi,

Hope someone can help....

 

I need to get the fog light moved from the left to right on my partners 2016 Fabia estate as we want to register it in UK.

We have been to Skoda dealers and they quoted £260 to rewire it.

 

I have read somewhere that it needs recoding.

 

Does anyone know anywhere in Leicestershire that could do this for me?

 

Thanks in advance.

Welcome.

 

No idea, others will know,

but do you not need to get a rear light cluster for a Right Hand Drive car with a fog light on the offside,

or is there a bulb holder and bulb and the correct lens already fitted. 

 

If there is does that not just need coded to the Countries setting that requires 2 rear fog lights?

Hi,

Both sides look exactly the same and appear to have both reverse and fog lights but only the drivers side fog works.

 

I need to get the fog light working on the non drivers side as the car is left hand drive so that we can register it in UK.

Jon, check to see if the wiring and bulb holder goes to the RHS and if it does try just putting a bulb in.  Cars used to have two reversing lights and two rear fog lights I think Mercs were the first lot I can remember seeing with the lenses both sides but light to only one side, can't remember if the wiring and bulb holder(s) are there though

 

I can't think why if the wiring and holder are on both sides that you'd need programing but who knows with VW's computer programs.

 

The rear lights are a fiddling and farting about job and the wire tails are just short enough to give you hope but mess you around.
