| Octavia II rear lights I noticed yesterday that the side light element (5w) of both the stop and rear fog lights is not working on its own when the side lights are turned on. Instead the (21w) element is glowing and gets brighter when either the stop or rear fog is turned on. Could this be a bad connection somewhere? The LH fog does not work at all but the RH does. Both sides show the same problem. |

| Briskodian  | Re: Octavia II rear lights Does a bulb warning light come on on the dash ?? As I understand from the handbook, if the tail lamp fails, it uses the brake light albeit at a lower voltage to keep the rear of your car safe! Obviously when you brake it ups the voltage, to show braking.

With regard to faulty lamps, as already pointed out in the previous posts, a failed sidelight is automatically compensated for by using a brake lamp with reduced output. My understanding is that once the backup lamp 'so to speak' fails, the dashboard lamp fail warning light comes on. John

| Re: Octavia II rear lights Thanks guys but unfortunately I have checked the bulbs and they are all intact. Also no dash warning lamp. Is it possible to get a wiring diagram so I can follow it through. Johnny C how can I programme the second fog light to work? Andy |
