| Pretty sure it's a DIY and cost around the £40 mark. Shame that it didn't happen a couple of months ago, on the trip to Prgaue we stumbled on the national Skoda meet where you could get all sorts of Skoda 'jumble'. Jason (Devonutopia) bought a replacement fog light for his which iirc cost him the princely sum of just £5 |

| About £52 with the VAT and it's a bumper-off job to fit, unless you have arms made of rubber...

| JUst washed my vRS and found the driver's side foglight cracked thought the light still works. Funny how the owner's manual mentions which bulb to use in the front fog lights but doesn't advise on how to change it if it blows. "Dealer only" job is it? |

| Don't think its a a bumper off job; I have just had my R/H front fog light changed (in a vRS bumper) and my Skoda dealer charged me for only 15 mins work. I got the fog light on e-bay (genuine part) on a buy-it-now for £26 - about half price. |
