That would be the best legal method.

Like minds think alike regarding the Osram Nightbreakers.

I have quite a few different ones that I removed from a car I traded in a while back and wonder what the Fabia 1.0 SE Drive would take for main/dip and fog?

"Auto Bulbs Direct" have lists of bulb types for any given car and apparently there's two headlight variants for the 2021 Fabia:

HALOGEN SINGLE HEADLIGHT UNIT - 2020-2021

HALOGEN TWIN HEADLIGHT UNIT - 2020-2021

I think my son's is the twin headlight variant, so *should* be as shown below, but can anyone confirm?:

How many headlight bulbs does each headlight unit have?

Thanks. AG Falco

Think it depends on which style/type of headlight is fitted. It’s a single bulb, H4, I think in the normal halogen units but the higher spec projector units may have two bulbs each side.

As regards the “best way to change the bulb” there have been a few threads on his very topic over the years. There is a removable access panel in each wheel arch that allows nimble and flexible owners to get their hand in and replace (in theory) the bulb in theory🤔. But I never managed to do it, one major stumbling block is that with one arm in the wheel arch and pushed through the access panel it’s virtually impossible to actually see what you are doing. Had to ask the dealer to do it in the end.
