Thought I'd share a recent installation of a Lazer Lamp Triple R 1250 i-LBA lamp i fitted to my Scout in case it's of interest to anyone else.

 

Lazer Lamp's technical guy said he's never fitted one to an Octavia or had enquiries from anyone doing so before me.

 

The headlamps on my Scout are just bog standard lamps and they're rubbish.

 

I really struggle driving at night and spend a lot of time driving in the Lakes and Highlands in Winter.

 

The lamp was a serious investment which I spent a lot of time considering but I'm pleased to report that driving at night will never be the same again now, it's incredible.

 

The intelligent Low Beam assist mode helps after switching from main to dipped beam and has a sensor which automatically reduces the output when other cars are detected or reflection from signs.

Does the ACC sensor still work when you've blocked it off like that? I ask because I have a Scout myself and will be getting a LED bar at some point myself, but I've been skeptical about placement regarding that sensor.

Mine doesn't have adaptive cruise control, just standard CC, so not something I had to consider.

 

Isn't the radar for ACC behind the upper grille or bumper?

If it helps, here's a photo from when I installed it

Ah ok, I thought it was standard. Here's a picture of my car, and is why I was skeptic as you see the placement of that sensor.

I've also thought that it must be better to have a LED-bar mounted higher up to reduce snow build up, and I also see some have a heated element as well.

 

Your mod looks good though, so hopefully it will do you wonders for years to come.

 

PS: I'm actually in the process of upgrading all lights to brighter LED lights all around, and in that process I dismounted the front fairing to pop out the headlights in the morning so I can cut out the holes for the turn signals that are not precut from factory on these cars(at least on the bi-xenon headlights). I have to change a ballast in the same go which meant I had to remove the fairing no matter, so I thought I'd just do the turn signal shenanigans while I have full access. This way I can remove those bulbs with ease in the future.

I fitted a Strands NUUK E-Line License Plate LED Bar to mine earlier this year, its just on a button beside the handbrake for now, I will invest in the Canm8 device to come on with the LED Main beam, but its bloody bright!
