|  Fabia Bulbs Hi all, Just a quick question. Did the Fabia come with a double filement bulb which would cover the brake and tail light?? The reason I am asking is beacuse Halfrauds little light bulb guide sold me a double filament bulb for my 2005 fabia when it should have been a single Filament bulb. Their guide says a 2003-2006 fabia should have a double filament bulb, and that a 2003 should have a single filament bulb in the case I had to get one. Much annoyence to me as I'm trying to install the brake light bulb and it would not go in. Cheers Davy

| Re: Fabia Bulbs I had the same problem, just took it back and they changed it no problem. The double filament is for the tail and fog and the brake is a separate single filament (I think it was labelled as the fog in the Halfords book). |

| Re: Fabia Bulbs Brake lights should be single filament 21W Tail/Fogs are twin filament 21/4W And can you hand on heart trust anything Halfrauds has to say?

| Re: Fabia Bulbs I had the same thing when I bout a brake light bulb at Halfords. I couldnt be bothered to go and change it , I just went to the Skoda garage and bought one from there , at least it was the right one that time!! Stupid Halfords - I wonder if anyone has pointed out to them that their fitment guide is actually wrong??!

| Re: Fabia Bulbs One of my brake lights went the other week and ended up in a similiar position, with the bulb a double filament and a different means of mounting than the one in there. So the fact i managed to twist it in to the socket probably wasnt a good idea! It does work though. I'll get round to getting the correct ones eventually.

| Re: Fabia Bulbs The halfords customer reference guides are sh!te and thats from someone who used to work at a halfords. They are rarely right. Crap things, had so many complaints from customers who used them and got the wrong buld. personally i think they shoudl scrap the ref lists and just use the computers which are online and up to date. the ref lists never get updated.
