H7 LED bulb fitting issue.

 

I recently bought a Skoda Octavia and have been doing little interior and exterior upgrades to the car.

 

The most recent was replacing the halogen H7 bulbs to LED H7 bulbs.

 

I purchased the Novsight LED lights bulbs after been told it would fit my car. Since receiving the bulbs I haven't been able to install them. 

 

The tab on the new LED bulbs doesn't slot into the groove that the halogen bulb did. I have bought adapters off Amazon that I thought would solve the issue but I'm still none the wiser.

 

It's probably something really simple that I'm missing but I was wondering could someone "shed some light" on the issue and maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong? 

Ignore what the box says. Do the fitments of both your old and new bulbs match up? If not, you need to return them for the correct set.

Thanks for the reply!

 

No it doesn't light up, the plastic on it is too small to fit into the slots. I thought because it's a H7 that it would work? Any recommendations on H7 LEDs that are just plug and play?

Not if they light up, do the match up, ie, do the look like the exact same fitment and have the correct connector?

 

I've used novsight in my previous car (a Signum) and they were faultless.

The LED came with the black plastic clip that doesn't have the two metal bits that stick out like the halogen bulb does.

 

So the LED won't slot into the headlight housing.

In theory, it shouldn't need the sticky outy bits, that top cut out should be enough. You know you have to put the plastic clip in first and then feed the new bulb in?

Any that actually are to the H7 standard. From your photos these aren't.

Yeah I know, the LED unit came with instructions I I took it off and tried putting the plastic clip in first put it doesn't attach to anywhere and the bulb would just fall out.

 

I'll give it another go later today, and let you know how I get on. I'll get more pictures too.

So these aren't H7 then no? I guess I'll just have to get another unit.

 

Thanks for you're help.
