We also shared the way to remove and fit in light bulb in this video, as there is different adaptor which allows the lights to fit in.
This is my First video log so, I will appreciate your likes and comments.
There are many more videos coming in for Car enthusiasts, share your liking and opinion.
Thank you,

I have a Rapid Monte Carlo...just had a quote for $450 AU for one bulb fitted 😮... your video should come in handy.
Thank you
Good video
Hey hi! Need your valuable suggestion on this! I have Rapid Ambition Variant Aug 2020. Stock headlamps are weak(Projector Xenon- Low Beam and Normal Halogen for High Beam). I need to upgrade. Please suggest me some good bulbs which is suitable for this model.
Hello Praveen, Congratulation on having a Skoda. Xenon is projectors is a good light, you may change Hi beam halogen bulb with Philips xtreme vision or Osram Laser series halogen H7 bulb, also put H11 bulb in the fog and align those properly, you may refer other videos on my channel, where i have compared H8 Halo bulb (which is 35 watt and comes as factory fitted), you may change it with H11 which is 55 watt bulb, brighter compared to H8 and align your fogs a bit up in light throw. See my other videos, it may help.
Hope i answered your query, Happy Riding.
Hey man, Nice video. Keep up the good work. Really helpful. I have a couple of H7 for my Low and High beam. However, I find it extremely difficult to change them without removing the headlight housing. Can you post a video to remove the housing and replace the bulbs or any alternative way to replace them.
Thanks you Vighneshwar, yes, i will be posting more to help the community as i find topics on Car.
You can easily change the Hi Beam halo without removing the headlight assembly.
To change the Low beam halo in projector, you need to remove the assembly, there is no easy way to change the low beam bulb.
I am planning to put LEDs in low beam, when i do so, i will post video on how to remove the headlight assembly for it, Covid situation has halted that upgrade for me.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Hi brother. Rapid's performance and sturdiness looks really promising. But I am worried about the door rattling issue faced by some of rider variant owners posting online. Though not sure about rider plus owners and higher variant owners.
Is the quality compromised for the base variant rider? and do you face any issues so far?
Hello Richie, I have Rapid MonteCarlo variant with me, and as I have also seen Rider variant at showroom, I do not think that Skoda has compramised in quality in any of its versions. Door rattling is something that I didnt face on my car. Others who talk about it do get it removed from service station with some minor lubrication done.
Rider a good car from all aspects, checking all areas right.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thanks a lot brother.
Hey man finally some video on Skoda Rapid headlights. I have Morimoto hid’s in low beam projector. I planned for Morimoto led for upper beam but bad luck the led bulb won’t fit in the headlights housing. Please help and suggest something good quality led bulb for high beam bro that can be installed in the car.
I would suggest to keep Halogens on Reflector headlights (upgrade the bulbs though), you may refer car headlight alignment video (link below), where i have all halogen setup rt now and happy with it.
I am planning to upgrade to LED's on Low beam (for cool looks) and will check to fit LED's on High beam for you and suggest a LED. Do try to align your fogs and see the difference in lights focus. Do subscribe my channel. Happy Riding,
ua-cam.com/video/7JcnGe158ak/v-deo.html
If the issue with fitting LEDs in high beam was cos of the Adapters that holds the light with headlight unit, then wait for some time, i am planning to create video on it and also for some Adapters as give away. Let me know, if the adapter is the issue in fixing.
Extreme beautiful ❤️ work
Thanks Joe, means a lot. :)
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 hi I need a suggestion i installed headlight wich come single Lance projector. And installed h7 osram 90 watt. But light on road is not brighter and not satisfied with this light on highway. Please suggest what I need to change.
Can you please provide more details?
1. Is there different barrel for Hi and Low beam? or both are in one projector.
2. If you have seperate barrel for hi and low beam then i will suggest to upgrade both bulbs and then see the difference.
Can you tell what lights you are having on your car
1. High beam headlight bulb used and size
2. Fog lamp bulb used, size you mentioned it’s H11
It will be helpful if you share links for purchase
I am thinking to upgrade my stock lamps in low, high and fog
Hello, I have fitted H7 Halogen from Philips Xtreme vision Gforce series H7 halogen bulb in Hi Beam Reflector and Philips GForce H11 halogen bulb in fogs. I have not upgraded the low beam projector bulb as I am planning for LED (will create video on it also, as I fit LED)
Find the links below, please let me know for any help required:

Hey man informative video.
Posting here for some much needed advise.I got my Rapid rider delivered a couple of weeks back and I drove it in the night for the first time yesterday and found the stock headlamps absolutely underwhelming. To tell you that I found the throw very inadequate would be a gross understatement.
I am curious if others who have the rider variant faced the same issue and have replaced its headlamps. Also interested in hearing what options are available!
I think the riders high and low beam are halogen reflector headlamps.
Siddharth ji, yes, Rider has both hi and low beam in single reflector and is fitted with H4 bulb, where both Hi and lo filaments are in same bulb. I would suggest you to upgrade the H4 bulb with Philips xtreme vision or Osram Laser series bulb.
Also see if you can add Fogs to support/add more light, this is not mandatory but if you can then fogs with a bit upward light will always help.
Let me know for any help required.
People will suggest to put 90/100 watt bulb in place of 55/60 watt H4, but i will not suggest to do so, as it will spoil the reflector in longer run.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 thank you for your response. I plan to add osram h4 night breakers after speaking to the sales rep from skoda. As adding any other bulbs which involves a relay or wiring would potentially void warranty.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152can u plz give me the link to purchase I hv rapid rider
I have the same model for Rapid in Style variant. Can u tell me best combination for light bulbs to get best results?
Best will be to upgrade the Projector and Reflectors with Philips Xtremevision H7 bulbs and Fog lams should be upgraded with H11 55 watt bulbs, OEM are H8 which are 35 watt..
Hey man, great video.
I have a Rapid Ambition 1.5 Tdi 2015 model, the head bulbs are very bad currently to the point where i have to turn on the high beam so that i can see something.
I'm hoping to change them what would you recommend for both high beam and low beam or can i change one of them, what would be the best headlamps to change into for my model.
Thanks man.
I would suggest you to put Philips xtreme vision or Osram Nightbreaker Laser series Halogen bulbs for all Hi, low and in Fogs, this will certainly brighten up the road. Also check my other videso where i have upgraded the 35watt H8 fog bulb to 55watt H11 bulb, it addup more light on road.
Which bulb would be suitable to upgrade for projector? Can the same bulb (philips xtremevision) be used for both?
Yes, if you want to stay with Halogen, then Philips extreme vision or Osram Laser series is best option. If you plan for LED's, its much better but expensive affair. I would suggest, upgrade Halogens brand and align the Fogs as in shown in another video, alignment of fogs will certainly make u happy, refer my another video:

@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Where to access the projector headlight bulb ? Is it located behind the same rubber lid?
No, its not at the same place, Projectors rubber lid is at the extreme ends of the car. just behind the projectors. It takes efforts to change lights in it, even u need to remove the buffer and headlight unit.
Sir, very nice video. I got it fixed outside, not sure if they've fixed it properly because they took an hour, they tried to remove bumper etc to fix it. Is there anyway I can contact you to check if it's fixed properly
Thank you very much, will be grateful if you could help me out with this !
Share your phone number with me, i will call you or message me on Facebook, we can chat there or share numbers to talk. I will be more than happy to help, you may find me on FB as Vaibhav Turaskar, vturaskar

@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thank you Sir !
Great information.
I use a '21 Ambition model and I fell that the headlight throw is underwhelming. I am looking for a plug and play upgrade for low and hi beams, without voiding the warranty (6 yrs) at any cost. Can you please suggest any suitable options with the required specs and configuration to look for?
Thank you
Sorry for late reply, Go for Philips Xtreme Vision plus H7 for High and low beam, and Philips Xtreme vision plus H11 for Fogs, this will not void the Warranty and will certainly increase the night vibility.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thank you :)
@@gowthamvgc Hello brother have you changed the bulb as said by vt and gt sir is it working good because I am also planning to do same
@@kdeepraj4900 Hi, No. I did not change it yet.
Hi bro, my car is skoda rapid MC automatic and current company fitted light is not that great and i woukd like to upgrade to HID's Bro if I want to install HID 💡 in my projector which one should I use ? plz help me i want to change low beam only for now.
If you plan to shift to HID's, I would suggest to put 35 watt HID's from Osram, and ask for good replacement guarantee to the dealer (you might get more than a yr guarantee). I will not suggest to put 55 watt HID's as it emits lots of heat and it will spoil the projector with time.
Also changing light in Projector need lots of work to do, i will suggest you to see my other videos where I have changed light of Hi beam to Philips xtreme vision and upgraded the Fog light to 55 watt one, this has certainly increased the lights performance with no hassle.
Do let me know for any help required. Happy riding..
How do you do it on the other side :) seems impossible on my 2015 spaceback..
then you will have to remove the complete headlight unit to put the bulbs, as to change Low beam projector bulb I took help from a near by mechanic to remove bumper and then headlight unit to change the bulbs.
Hey I tried your technique of removing the bulb but now the bulb is not going in. I did exactly as you mentioned, keeping the pin to the top but the bulb is not going clockwise. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong ?
There are two kind of ears to the Adaptor in which the bulb fits in, those ears should get aligned properly with head light assembly and then as we rotate the adapor clockwise, the ears get locked on two side walls of the headlight unit and keep the bubl in place. Hope this help.
Hi bro..my rapid
2018 model Monte carlo stocks lights visibility is very bad..I want to change the lights which gives good visibility without effecting car electronics.
Mine too have you tried upgrading?
Hi any idea on how this H4 ll look like ? Will it glow white or normal warm halogen. I'm planning to put H4 as the stock is totally dim...
Also I felt 1.0 tsi rapid is floaty at highway speeds. Any idea to make it strong and confident at highway speeds like old rapid ventos... should i upgrade the suspension to have more stability...
If I understand your first question correctly, you want to put Philips Xtremevision plus GForce H4 bulb in your car, then, yes, it is brighter than stock and is a good upgrade, light is not wight but brighter.
To answer your second question: On Highway please try not to go beyond 110 KMPH speed, any car would be dangerous beyond that speed, hope you understand what I want to say, and I have not been on newer Rapid on highway so do not know how it rides.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 thanks for reply. My old polo 2012 was more planted in highways and could take corners but unfortunately the power wasn't sufficient. Same with old vento and rapid. I felt new cars with 1.0 tsi feel little light in overall weight than just the engine bay. But definitely way better than Hyundai Hondas. For German standard I felt the car is little less...I agree to ur point on speeds. I maintain at 100- 120.. occassionally push it beyond that..
I have upgraded to Philips extreme vision as suggested by skoda showroom guys
Can i fix these headlights in vento with dual beam
I have not checked it, may be fittings will differ.
Also make video on matrix headlights and audi style headlights for skoda rapid.?
Let me check on this..
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Yes please check I live in Lucknow my rider varient was my first in lko so I need to replace stock once.
sure.
Thank you.
Hi brother,
Please help me with this. I have recently purchased Rider Plus
Can I replace the existing halogen light of Rider with the Quartz cut headlights + day time running light set which i available in the higher version of Skoda Rapid. Q1) Is it difficult or do it need heavy electrical works and further configuration? Q2) would it affect the warranty? please respond bro. Stay safe and safe driving
Hello Deepak, if you want to upgrade to the Quartz cut headlight assembly, then I would suggest you to get it done from the Authorized service center and NOT from after market service provider. There would be some mods required but that can easily be handled by Service center. Though it would be heavy on pocket and i do not think if you get the done work done from Authorised service center then there should be any problem with warranty.
Hope I answered the question. Happy driving.
Hello there VT & GT, I have Skoda Rapid Style Manual variant. I have gone through all your videos, also have done some research on the net. suggest me if I can upgrade low beam and high beam to Philips White Vison Ultra or Philips Racing Vision.
I am not in the mood to change to LED as it will breach the Warranty and extended warranty. Also Guide which lights are better for night drive i.e. Blue tinge or white tinge or regular yellow shade
Hello Abhijeetji, you have made a wise decision by not upgrading to HID's or LED's.
HID's has heat issues and LED has Adaptor issue (which is not available in market in India).
Replacing Halogen with Halogen is the good option, getting Philips XtremeVision or Osram Laser vision is a good replacement with better light.
Now question of getting a white light or blue is upto you.
I would sugget to put white light in low beam projector, creates kool look in city drive.
Put Philips Racing vision in Hi beam reflector for serious Highway bussiness.
Upgrade Fogs with H11 which are 55 watt and adds up light when and then required.
Hope this answers your questions.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thanks Vaibhav. So now I will go for following combination. Philips Racing vision for High Beam and Blue tinge for Projector.
Bro i am planning to change my skoda stock light with philips diamond vision what your views on this... And i want to know if we apply led light of night eye or any other company do we loss our warranty plz reply
As per my studies, Philips Dimond vision will be as good as Stock bulbs, just the light will be on whiter side (no increase in brightness), and Warranty lies with the Dealership, its risky to take that shot with Service team. Hope this helps.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thanks brother got your point
LED of what wattage would you recommend for High Beam
I will prefer LED's with highest Lumen and which is less than 55watt for headlight unit. There are LEDs with 12000Lumen light available but go for LEDs with more than 150000 lumen for headlights. 18K 20K lumen is best.
Hey i have this same model. I have a question suddenly my drl's have stopped working i have no idea why. Also passenger side upper beam and driver side lower beam is also not functioning. Can you suggest what would have happened..
Please check the fuse for lights and also for any wire cut under the hood, this might be one of the reasons.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 do you know which number fuse is for high beam, low beam and DRL as i have no idea about it...but i know where the fuse box is...and all numbers are written on it.
sorry, I have not looked into details of that.
Brother make video for Upadate to White LED , because skoda rapid Light trough very low
Hello Parvez, yes I have planned to put the LED's in low beam Projectors, but it needs mechanic's assistance to do so, and due to covid situation I am avoiding it. When I do upgrade to LED's, I will share video on it for sure.
very helpful video .. i have been searching for so long and then found your video .. it is awesome keep continuing
but one small doubt
1. what bulb size will fit the low beam projector ?
will the normal h7 6500k work in the low beam as well or do i have to choose some other size ?
Also will the 50w h7 led bulbs be enough for both high beam and low beam
Hello, Both Hi beam and low beam are fitted with H7 bulbs.
You may think of fitting Philips xtreme vision or Osram laser vision bulb, these are slightly brighter and whiter than regular halogens.
If you want whiter light in low beam projector then you may think of Dimond or crystal vision from Philips..
Fitting a LED is painful, as it need the Adapters with bigger hole to fit in LED, current adapter fitted are square and LEDs do not get fitted without those..
Hope this helps..
Thank you so much
This will do
Are the standard h7 halogens that the fabia has good? What would be a good upgrade?
You may think of switching to Philips Xtreme or Osram laser vision series Halogens.
Hi, do you know the specifications of 2014 Rapid 1.5 TDI Black Package headlight bulb? It has projector for both high and low beams. Thinking of getting them replaced with brighter bulbs.. thanks in advance :)
Hello, are you sure, there are no different barrels for Hi and Low beam? If not then I would suggest to pull the current bulb out and check it, cos these specs are not mentioned anywhere for Skoda Rapids.. Apologies for incomplete info.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 I'll have to check them out in the morning.. even I couldn't find any specs online for these.. thank you for the quick reply and no apologies please.. subbed :)
Bro please make video on how to remove headlights of Skoda rapid
Sorry for late reply, bro try to get it removed from Professional service person as it need the bumper to be removed from some sections and i will not suggest you to do so.
will the H11 bulb fit directly into the h8 socket of fog lamp. Or need do some struggle with the clip ?
also how easy to change/access the low beam projector bulb any idea ?
To fit H11 on H8 socket, we need to bend/cut some part of the top clip (this can be done easily using a Plyer) as i shared in video on comparing H8 & H11, please see that and let me know for any help required.
To access the projector bulb, there is no easy way to do so, we need to remove the buffer from the side and remove the headlight unit completely to change the bulb. its pretty tough tough, need some mechanic to work on it.
Sandy, please find me on FB and message me for any help required.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thanks for info.
Hi is it possible to fit an LED bulb for the high beam? Because there isn't any place
Yes, you may fit a smaller size LED in Hi beam but it can be tricky to get it fitted. Plus you will need the adaptors (Hi beam adaptors are available at Amazon).
I will not suggest to fit LED in Hi beam as the light distorts a log in reflector type head unit and ay blind the incoming traffic..
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 true...I have only put hid for my low beams as they're projector.. High beams I don't use much anyway.. So I guess better leave with the halogen
Hi please suggest if I can sure H7 hella halogen bulbs with 70 watts in low beam headlight without any additional relay in my skoda rapid style 2019. Regards Lokesh
I will not suggest to put high wattage bulb in Projectors, as it gets heated a lot and spoil the projector in near future. Even fitting 50 watt HID's has same heat issues, hence Philips is not making HIDs now and Osram is also suggesting to fit 35 watt HIDs. Instead try LEDs which has brighter light with less heat, it needs the adapter to fit in (Adapter - i am planning as a give away soon).
If you still want to fit high watt bulb then i would suggest to fit the relay and ceramic holders. Why relay, cos it wont kill your battery. Hope i answered your question.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 thanks, if i go with LED bulbs than which brand do you suggest? Else if I use H7 with 70w halogen than by putting relay and ceramic holder do i need to make any wire cut in existing circut, which may impact the warranty of the car.
Apart from Rapid, I also own a jetta car so can I use this H7 70 watts bulbs in lower beam reflector of jetta, does this higher watt bulbs damage the reflector of jetta as well. Please advise
Regards
Lokesh
Wire cuts will not be required with proper relay set, as it takes input from original wiring.
Higher watt bulbs will always effect badly on reflectors also with time. If you can wait for a while, I am planning to install 50watt LEDs in low beam of my car, so will be able to suggest LEDs later.
Stock Projector bulbs has very low visibility. Which bulb we can fit for bright visibility ?
If you want to stick with Halogens, then you may think of getting Philips Xtreme vision or Osram Laser series Bulbs, If you are thinking of HIDs then do not put more than 35 watts, as 55 watts will spoil the headlight unit.
Go for halogens and do refer my video to upgrade the Fogs from H8 to H11, as H11 is 55 watt brighter and better compared to H8 which is 35 watt. Also realign the headlight and Fogs for better results. See the videos on this.
I am also planning to put LED;s in projector, but i am waiting for adapter to get delivered to me, will share videos on it in coming future.
Your problem of low light with Projector can be resolved with upgrade to Fogs and realigning the lights (Low beam and fogs realignment). see videos on this on my channel.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152will the H11 bulb fit directly into the h8 socket. Or need do some struggle with the clip ?
Hello Brother , i have the same rapid as yours ( 1.5 TDI Monte carlo 2019 ) i want to convert all my head lamps to led white and I really don’t know which one to put in the low beam , high beam and fog lamps to replace them with complete led white lamps. Please tell me which one to purchase for low beam ( projectors ), high beam and fog lamps.
Priyatham, please see if you can get the Adaptors which hold the LEDs in the headlight unit.. if you get those then please let me know also, where to get those from.
In both Hi and low beam, you may put H7 and in Fogs H8 or H11 LEDs..
Do suggest...
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thanks for the reply brother , i have been going on through some videos on youtube and i found this :
ua-cam.com/video/akcswKb9Hpo/v-deo.html
I will let you know if i find any info about the adaptors.
Get the adaptors first then the lights, cos I have lights but no adaptor since nine months now..
In the Video, they must have installed LEDs in Fogs (this do not require the adaptors) and HIDs in the Hi and Low beam (this again do not need adaptors with bigger hole..)
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Got it! , thanks brother. I will find out about the adaptors.
What about high beam?
Upgrading Hi beam to LED will make light to scatter and will not give desired output, better to stick to Halogens.
Any idea about this LED H7 bulb Bevinsee H7 LED Headlight Fog Light White 100W 15000LM 6000k Bulbs Kit-VC Cooling Tech,2pcs
Looking at the Packing in image, this looks as if its made in same factory where Autobahn, NightEye, NovSight and few other brands are assembled, this looks rebranding of a product from same assembly. Though I am yet to fit but I got NovSight LEDs for my car, which are 50W each with 10000lumen per light, combined its 20000lumem from Cloud www.cloudsalestore.com/, they are associated with Amazon and also has direct store with lesser price.
@@vtgtsvlogs9152 Thank you very much. 👍
What about changing another bulb. How to do it
In this video i have showcases by removing Hi beam reflector bulb, If you want to know about projector bulb, then it can also be removed and fixed back in same way. There are the similar clips. i will create a video displaying the types of clips/adapter used for holding bulbs in reflector and projector.
Yes, same way of removing by moving anticlockwise and fitting back by moving clockwise works for all headlights.
Do not plan to fit LED's as the same clip/adapter will not allow you to fit it, it needs different adapter. I will share video for it soon.
VT & GT's vLogs Please make a video for that also
Sure, will do and share it, please wait for some time, as i am planning to fit LED's in Projector, I will share complete video on it.
