Bulbs in Fabia Vrs

beedie · 27-10-2006, 13:13

Can some one point me in the direction of a list of bulbs needed for the Vrs.
I hve a couple out and need to get replacements so thought about doing them all at the same time (to see me through the winter)
Thanks Scott

Side lights - W5W
Dipped beams - H7
Main beams - H3
Fogs - H3

Do you have xenon dipped beam? If you do the main beam bulb is different to that used in cars without xenons

The brake light bulbs are P21W - single element.

Go for a good make like Bosch or Hella and they'll last a good while and be bright too.

Sorry for the random bump...

Halfords light bulb manual said the 2003-2006 Fabia had a dual element, but when I took my ['55' 2005 Fabia] broken light bulb out to replace, it was a single element.

Zebra 1 Halfords 0.

OMG guys! This is the second post saying there is a H3 in a Fabia vRS xenon headlight!!! Am I getting something wrong or what?

There is no H3 in the headlight, those are only for the reflector type headlights!

IIRC, xenon lights came as standard equipment on every Fabia vRS (at least on our market in Croatia)!

I'll repeat from my previous answer

D2S - short beam (xenon)

H7 - high beam (halogen)

The same thing is written in your MANUAL, read it!

I've also been lazy so I did not want to read the manual and asked Skoda HQ in CZ and got a false reply for H3 in high beam! Of course, I blindly trusted the information and bought the wrong bulbs and had to return them for the H7!
