Skoda superb 2011 hatch, 1.8tsi - LED bulbs - archie46

Hi all. Is it possible to change the 12v/21w daytime bulbs, to a brighter led style bulb, without any problems showing errors on the dash, etc?. . If so, can any user recommend a decent make, as there appears to be a lot on the market to choose from?'

Many thanks.

I replaced brake/stop, number plate and interior lights with lamps from autobulbsdirect.co.uk

My vehicle has a multiplex wiring system and seems to kill cheap LEDs (The ones I tried in the number plate, anyway)

These have been fine since April

Thanks mss1tw for reply. I take it that i have the multiplex wireing system on my car?. Have read that bulbs have to be canbus-whatever they are!. I take it that i should ignore cheap bulbs, but how much should i pay for a 21w equivelent bulb?

Thanks

Yes CANBUS is multiplex. Check out the website or email them to be sure what will work, I can only vouch for the quality of what they supplied for me.

As for price: buy cheap, buy twice!
