Octavia Bulb types & wattages, etc?

[brad]

Does anyone know the bulb types & wattages on the Octavia (exterior or interior lights). I thought they were in the owners manual but can only see the "how to change" parts rather than the tech specs.

I can start with what i think is right - happy to edit as more info comes in.

headlight - low beam	H7 Halogen or D1S Xenon
headlight - high beam	H1
fog light	H8 (std models) or H1(vRS)
front running/parking light	W5W
front turn signal	PY21W (yellow bulb)
Sedan rear running/parking light (top & bottom), brake or fog light incorporated	P21/4W nb: this has a BAZ15d base. the pins are offset 150 degrees instead of the more common 180degrees
Wagon rear running/parking light, brake & fog light	P21W
Sedan/Wagon rear running light (2 per side)	W3W
Sedan / Wagon rear turn signal	PY21W (yellow bulb)
Sedan / Wagon reverse light	P21W
number plate light	C5W
overhead light - centre	C10W
overhead light - spots	W5W
door lights
puddle lights in mirrors	W5W

Can anyone tell me the type needed in the wagon for the boot? Right at the back shining inside. Mines an 08, but it will be the same for all

[brad]

The one on either side that lights up the interior? W5W 12v 5w

Anyone heard anything (good or bad) about these?

Also, are they truly just plug and play (with no error codes)?

[brad]

Interior bulbs won't give errors as they aren't via canbus. They are controlled by the BCM. You can wack anything in.

The exterior mirror bulbs (puddle lights) won't chuck an error in isolation but they will interact with the other exterior bulbs and make it mandatory to run "error free" bulbs in the rest of the exterior system.

edit: That's a lot of dough for what you get. Have you looked at ebay or AliExpress?

[donweather]

Ebay appear to all predominantly be Chinese bulbs. I'm trending away from them.

Haven't looked at Aliexpress yet. Thanks.

[brad]

Aliexpress will be Chinese too - every bulb comes with a packet of rice.

Where do you guys order the light bulbs from online ? Or is eBay still the best bet?
