Yes, I have seen these but don't like the idea of snap locking a resistor into the wiring. Will wait to see if Superskoda have developed a bulb that does not require this being done - if not, then will stick to the standard set up. Thanks for the info just the same.

The CanBus has to fooled into thinking that the draw is approx 12 watts per bulb, and as an LED DRL only draws 1 or 2 watts the bulb warning will come on. A resistor of the correct value is the only way to do this, and unfortunately this causes heat which needs dispersing.
I have seen others advertised, but they have also stated that a resistor has to used if the CanBus continues to give error after fitting.
LED side lamp bulbs can have a built in circuit to do this because the draw is only 5 watts and overheating is not a problem.
Just had a reply from Superskoda in relation to my enquiry about whether separate resistors required - "
it will be in the set, don´t worry...".I take that to mean that they will be required - **** it!
I'm delighted to discover that my Urban has DLR's! Does anyone know the bulb type / number for the DLR's as I'm going to give some LED bulbs that say thay have a built in resistor ago and I'll report back! I've seen these on ebay and think it's work a go for £6...
I have a yeti 1.6 diesel. I think it is start /stop which I take to mean the car engine cuts out when I come to a standstill in traffic and restarts when I depress the clutch. While my car sits on the drive the car will run the battery down and eventually it will become flat. I may wish to use...

I bought Roof bars from Graham a few weeks ago and shortly afterwards visited my local Skoda dealer to buy the bolts and washers for the roof rails. Theyve been sitting waiting for a spare day, today is that day. However - when I briefly saw Grahams bolts in his roof they looked relativily...
Good moaning all, can I trouble those of you who have fitted a towbar on a budget ...
I'm on a budget so I'm looking get a silk purse out of a sow's ear by getting a used towbar and then fitting dedicated VAG electrics.
Used Yeti towbars are few and far between (and usually far away!) - so...
