Changing to LED daytime running lights bulbs DRL on 2015 Fabia Mk3

Featured Replies

 

I found a good and reliable LED bulb to replace the incandescent DRL bulbs that doesn’t upset the VW computer program and doesn’t get as hot.  The right (offside / driver’s side) bulb holder was marking up and incandescent bulb failing (left side is just bulb marking up but not as bad)..

 

I got the LED bulbs from a good reliable source of information and products that I’ve been using and recommending to others, who had same successes, for a few years now.  I’m only a satisfied customer and no more.

 

These LED bulbs have been fitted and tested on my wife’s 2015 Fabia and no more amber-triangle-of-doom when the DRL are activated.  The DRL are not required for this year of car but my wife likes to use them.

 

Information and bulbs supplied by Classic Car LEDs Ltd – they obviously sell some for modern cars too. – https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk

 

The LED bulbs I fitted - 12V BA15S WHITE 21W LED 4014 SMD BULB CLASSIC / CANBUS P21W GLB382 - Negative Earth - £20.03 the set of two including P&P and VAT as at today.  – https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/12v-ba15s-21w-led-4014-smd-bulb-classic-vehicle-p21w-glb382

 

Also available in ‘warm white’ (classic incandescent appearance). - https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/12v-ba15s-warm-white-21w-led-4014-smd-bulb-classic-vehicle-p21w-glb382

 

These are already bright but they also sell a stronger DRL bulb but as it gets as hot as the 21W incandescent bulb we both thought it not suitable perhaps for the fragile VW fittings plus the bulb I fitted is also regularly sold by Classic Car LEDs Ltd and fitted to VW Transporters so has a good proven track record of working by themselves.

 

Instructions on how to change the bulbs are in the car’s ‘Owner’s Manual’. - https://manual.skoda-auto.com/004/en-com/Models
