SupaSkoda LED Boot lights

[donweather]

Just ordered a lighting pack LEDs for Skoda Octavia 3 (5E) - 2013-2014 will post when I have received and installed to tell you all how it went.

Have you received your order yet? According to the tracking information (in french of course), mine arrived in Aus on 25/06, but I'm still yet to receive it......how long does it normally take to clear customs etc?

Still no sign of mine yet!!!

Wel that makes me feel a little better then. Have you tracked yours? Does it say it's in Aus?

My SupaSkoda boot lights and other bits arrived today. All components dead easy to fit, and the rear led lights are nice and bright...

Bit hard to tell how good the boot LEDs are from that pic as you've got the flash on from your camera!! (In the entire boot pic)

hmm.....maybe I should get them too.

I got the same rear door sill protectors, but a different seat handle chrome thingy from superskoda.

Mine arrived today. Moving house at the moment so hoping to install on the weekend if I have time.

Ahhh, feck, just opened the installation instructions on the CD they sent with the lights. The instructions are all in bloody French!!! Could have sworn when I ordered I ticked the English box!!!!

Ok, thought I'd try the one with the least risk of if I damage it then it doesn't matter.....the glove box....well what do you know...completely stuffed the glove box light now as it also has a spring loaded switch on it for the on/off when the glove box door opens. Light is in bits now trying to work out how to put it all back together and get the spring loaded switch to work!!!! Not happy JAN!!!!

Ok, so I'm not the first to have this light spring into a million pieces when it's been taken out. Sounds like from this thread below there's some very useful pictures of how to put it back together, but unfortunately I can't see any of the pictures in this thread? Can anyone else see the pictures? Anyone else know how I can see the pictures? Do I have to be a member of the forum to see the pictures?

Worked it out from this pic and the words in the above thread. The key secret is the 7 winds of the spring!!!

Ok, here's my thoughts. Don't bother with the glove box light. It's not worth the headache, believe me!!! Cause when that spring goes boing, it's an hour of searching to work out how the bloody hell it all goes back together.

All other lights are a 10 sec change over. Bit dissappointed with the reading lights in the front. They're horizontal but the LEDs provided from LEDPERF are vertical, hence all of their light shines forward at the light housing rather than down into the cabin, if that makes sense. The rear reading lights point downwards so the vertical LEDs provided by LEDPERF are good for this.

But overall, massive improvement on the interior lighting levels.

As for the boot LEDs, to be honest, I don't think they provide any real great benefit. Yes whiter light and maybe a touch brighter, but overall, not a massive improvement in lighting level IMO.

So if you're going for the LEDPERF lights, I'd recommend only getting the front and rear interiors. And throw away the installation CD, it's not worth the CD it's burnt on!!!

thanks for the review of the LEDPERF kit donweather, if I decide to go down that path!
