    removing the glovebox is a 2 min job.
    I did it many times - 1st time while retrofitting the Bluetooth module; 2nd time when installing the footwell lights.

    So my rear light assembly looks like the pics on this page

    Interior Light bulb upgrade - Skoda Octavia I - BRISKODA.net - The Skoda Forum and Community

    But my fronts have the LEDs pointing forward/horizontally with the outer shroud behind the globe being curved to try and reflect some of the light downwards. It wasn't an issue with the old globes as they lit up 360 deg, but the LEDs supplied from LEDPERF point forward, instead of down.
    Pulled the glove box out to get the bulb housing back together and back in when it was in bits......

    My front lights housing is the same as the rear, so you need leds like in the pic here. Bulbs like the bottom left of the picture.

    SKODA OCTAVIA II FL INTERIOR LED SMD Bulbs KIT WHITE CAN BUS | eBay

    This is where I got my kit from for the RS.

    Have a good look in the front light housing as see if there is another slot for the bulbs behind the shroud?
    Some A4's had the front light housing set for different bulb configurations, you may have something similar?

    Honest opinion.

    Yes replace and enjoy.
    Not as bright as the A3 kit I got. A3 has slight blue tinge but ridiculously bright. You can see everything inside the car from 20m away.
    Boot not as bright as the pics on superskoda, but better than stock.
    Check you puddle light fittings and message them to ensure they send the right ones.

    The interior dome lights are white, not bluish tinge and much brighter than stock. All bulbs are plug and play. No errors, or stuffing with resistors as I had to in the A3. (exact same bulb holder and bulb as RS)

    Yes good practical light, white, not too bright.

    Why I buy again? Yes.

    thanks for that.

    I don't have puddle lights, but I do have footwell lights, front & rear - so i'll have to change these too.
    the footwell lights do use the same bulb and housing as the boot lights, so it shouldn't b an issue.
