    Anyone able to give me some advice on a good place to buy a decent xenon conversion kit for a 2007 Skoda Octavia.

    I want to convert all of the lights.....full/dip/parking/spots so I want a kit that is reliable.

    Wrong forum.

    But to answer your Q's

    Get a NON canbus H7 Hid kit for your dims and code to suit.
    Using a Canbus kit can cause electrical problems

    This kit >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330379335700

    Forget about the brights, only use Nightbreaker plus or similar as the heads or Halogen and will blind everyone coming against you.
    Also there have been issues using hid in the brights in the octi.

    Again the fogs I wouldnt bother with HID's in them

    I have HID only in my dims and rarely use the brights, No need for them as the light is spot on from the Dims

    Yes,
    along your checkout you will need to specify 5000k kit.
    And code to suit.

    Perfect, I'm gonna order those so. Any recommendations what ones I should go for 6k maybe? And are these just plug and play or do I have to get anything done with ecu?

    Get the 5k kit
    Best light from those.

    And you,
    You will have to find someone with vcds to code the car to suit.

    Have you checked on the autostadt forum for a member from around there that may have vcds?
    If you were near me I could do it for you.
