    I have a 2012 skoda octavia vrs and I am looking to replace my stock headlights with xenon and was wondering what the process is? Can I simply switch out the stock bulbs with xenon bulbs or is there more to it then that?
    Please help

    Please don't....you're only going to blind everyone on the road.
    If their not factory fitted, the reflectors in your headlamps will deflect the beams too high.

    Is there any other type of bulb that gives white/blue light? Besides yellow light

    you need to have the angel eye type fitting with auto leveling and also washer system for lights.

    You can purchase a new headlamp but it is costly.

    I have the 06 vrs and fitted after market cheap ones had them on the car over 3 years and passed nct when put on 1st but took them out ass new rules would mean a fail.

    Wow do I miss them the roads and reflectors are so hard to see now.
