1. hales Says: We have a Skoda Octavia VRS and are trying to sell our headlights and someone has asked if they are halogen or just normal lights. i have no idea how to find out. anyone have any ideas please?

2. SRM_UK Says: I think what the person means is whether your Octavia VRS has Xenon or normal Halogen headlights.

Firstly its a £550 option so you may see it on the original spec list somewhere when purchased.

Other way to know is do your headlights level automatically? If you have a pitch bender in the cockpit then you have normal halogens, if you dont, you have Xenons.

Hope this helps.

4. Roscoe Brown Says: Pull one of the bulbs without touching the glass part of the bulb and take it to a auto parts store. They can tell you.

5. Siegfried Says: From your house without pulling anything of your car. Go to autozone.com add your vehicle number, search for "headlight bulbs"
