Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb. Changing certain bulbs is not something wh
ich you can do yourself, but requires to
be done by a specialist. Other parts of
the vehicle must be removed in order to
change the light bulbs. This applies, in
particular, to bulbs which can only be
reached from the engine compartment. We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by a specialist garage or, in exceptional cases, by callin
g on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area
⇒page 160.
We recommend that you always have a small box of replacement bulbs in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from Škoda original accessories or from a specialist garage
