Does anyone have experience of changing headlight bulbs on a Fabia VRS, there does not seem to be much room to work or is there a secret I do not know, Stourjohn

Search?

Pretty sure there is a guide.

Driver's side should be no problem but passenger side the Battery gets in the way.

Solution, which may sound extreme but it works, move the battery!!

I used to remove the end of the battery box to give just enough room. Plastic bit simply slides out.

Is the car a pre or post 06 reg???? And has it got xenon headlights fitted???

If it's a pre '06 reg have a look at post number 3 in This thread. It's for a car fitted with xenons though.

If it's an '06 onwards and you have xenons then you will probably have to remove the battery. Approx three of us Briskodians tried to replace the sidelights on my '06 car last year without success...... And i couldn't be bothered to remove the battery. It would seem Skoda have changed the design of the battery cover. :thumbdwn:

I just managed to change all my bulbs was a pain but i managed, must ave small hands. I dont have Xenons though. Take the light out?? i did that on my astra Was only a couple of bolts.
