Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
if i were being pedantic i would point out that the fabia wiper is easier
Only if you do the hatch-parts version and not the full estate version.
Sorry to continue with this OT talk.
Ok, it's not the arm that makes it harder, it's if you use ALL the parts for the estate.
So, if you use (what I call) the full estate version, you need to Dremel a slot in the cap to get the wiper fluid to spray,
because the estate Fabia has the squirter (no, not ****) up near the roof.
If you go for the hatch cap part, you'll get a kind of gap between the arm and the cap.
Was that understandable?
An old pic, to try to explain.

Now thats attention to detail isn't it.......
Or it is it that mr v-g has a touch of OCD....
Personally i could'nt be @rsed with all the messing about, but i admire your resourcefulness...

once i've fitted these i'm thinking my fogs won't go with them so well, anyone put different bulbs in their fogs, if so which would you recommend??

Chris, There are a few options out there for different bulbs...I put Phillips GT150's in my other halfs car a while ago, and they're a pretty good make for HIDs.
Have a nose around the various HID threads that are on the forum for options.
There is always the option of putting HID's into the Fogs (see J@mes posts for pic's of this as he's done this), but the Fog lights should really be a more yellow colour, as it penetrates the fog better.
Miniator,think he means different brands to get a better colour, rather than bulb fitment...as you say Fog's are H3's and again as you say you can't change the fitment type.

just ordered some of these after a good old search these were the ones that kept cropping up.
cant wait to fit them, the standard lights are just rubbish.

im assuming thats just the HID dipped beam? doesnt look like you need to use full beem lol.

Yeah its dipped beam, ive used white led side light bulbs made by Prism that match the hid's pretty good, still aint got the fogs white yet!!! and to be honest you dont need to use full beam.
