LED headlights are newly available as an option for the ŠKODA FABIA. In addition, the LED headlights come with a new cornering function: whilst cars with halogen lights illuminate corners using the fog lights, this function uses LEDs which are directly integrated in the headlights.
The new LED headlights are significantly brighter yet use less energy and have a longer lifespan. One LED is used for dipped beam and high beam, whilst a second one is used for illuminating corners. Four other LEDs are used for daytime running lights and parking lights. The dipped beam of the new system emits 66% more light than the previous top-of-the-range version. This means the LED
In parts, these values are already surpassed by the halogen headlights which come as standard. Fitted with an H7 lamp each for dipped beam and high beam and brighter daytime running lights consisting of 4 LEDs, the dipped beam produces 39% more light than the previous basic version.
The tail lights are also optionally available with LED technology – in the ŠKODA FABIA MONTE CARLO they even come as standard. Six brake light LEDs shine brighter and without delay, providing improved safety. Two further LEDs in the tail lights form the sharply cut, brand-typical ‘C’. The two LED units sit behind special, sand-blasted glass which makes the illuminated surface appear larger. The tail light design also exhibits the ŠKODA-typical crystalline effect. The LED technology enhances active safety and offers a longer lifespan. The fog lights are no longer part of the tail lights, but now positioned below them. The reversing light and indicators use classic bulbs, whilst the fog lights use halogen bulbs.
