Re: Fog Lights
I note autobulbs are selling LED H8 bulbs.
I may give them a go as I'd hope autobulbs have done some homework and aren't selling crap.
No way I'd chance ebay LEDs.

Re: Fog Lights
I tried twenty20 from autobulbs and got the error message. Just out of interest I fitted only one bulb to check and got an error message. Does the system check individual bulbs or does it detect a difference between the two bulbs?Andy Beats wrote: Fri Mar 22, 2019 2:43 pm I note autobulbs are selling LED H8 bulbs.

Don't know the answer to your CANBUS question, sorry.

Two words:Griff74 wrote: Fri Mar 22, 2019 10:06 am This sounds very easy so something I will be changing on mine when I get it, the ones on my current Leon annoy me no end but are just too much of a pain to change. Why VAG think yellow fog lights are acceptable on a 21K + plus car which has LED headlights I don't know, at least the facelift Leon (which mine isn't by about 3 months!) got LED front fog lights on the FR.
Cost cutting.
Those long life bulbs are dead cheap.
Besides yellow light as in 'Selective Yellow' 3000-3500kelvin light actually has much much better penetration through "water" which fog really is. The whiter/blue light just reflects while yellow because of wavelength pass better through.
I for one will be replacing them with true selective yellow bulbs

Re: Fog Lights
Anybody figure out how to enable the daytime led lights by the fog lights if you have the led headlights ?
It is disabled if you have the led headlights.

It's a blank plate but no lights behind.
You could probably buy the drl parts and wire them back in if you wish?

Re: Fog Lights
well dlr are not on car with led light (they are fake) but take a look at headlights and you will notice that parabol (or whatever it is called in english) toward middle of car is fake
they don't work or do anything
that is true cost cutting
btw whole led light assembly is 4 time price of normal halogen light

I thought those were for the high beams ?Dark_cze wrote:well dlr are not on car with led light (they are fake) but take a look at headlights and you will notice that parabol (or whatever it is called in english) toward middle of car is fakethey don't work or do anything

So are dipped beams and high beams both inside the same light unit ?

Re: Fog Lights
They just change intensity. Try it yourself
I guess they would look empty without them

Re: Fog Lights
I assume the high beam is like on my current Leon's LED headlights and just moves the reflector when you pull or push the stalk.
