Upgrade your Skoda driving experience with the Automatic Headlight Switch (Dual Inbuilt Sensors | Plug & Play | Green Light)—a smart, factory-style enhancement designed for convenience, safety, and effortless night-time visibility. This switch is engineered specifically for Skoda vehicles that use 14-pin or 17-pin headlight switch connectors, ensuring seamless compatibility without any wiring, cutting, or coding.
This switch replaces your stock headlight switch and adds fully automatic lighting functionality, just like OEM setups found in higher trims. With dual inbuilt sensors, the switch detects ambient light levels accurately and activates headlamps automatically—ideal for tunnels, basement parkings, sudden weather shifts, or night-time driving.
Why This Upgrade Is Useful
Most Skoda models in India were shipped without automatic headlights in their lower or mid trims. However, many owners prefer the convenience of auto lighting—especially for daily commuting, long highway drives, and unpredictable weather.
This dual-sensor auto headlight switch solves that gap by offering:
OEM-style functionality
Automatic low beam activation
Smart light control during sudden darkness
Safer night and rainy condition driving
Zero wiring, zero relays, zero error codes
The result is an intelligent lighting upgrade that improves safety while keeping your vehicle wiring untouched.
Compatible Skoda Models (14-PIN / 17-PIN)
This switch supports any Skoda vehicle equipped with either a 14-pin or 17-pin light control socket. Compatible models include:
Skoda Rapid
Skoda Fabia
Skoda Octavia (older variants, non-BCM upgraded models)
Skoda Superb (14/17-pin generation)
Many Volkswagen vehicles also use the same connector type but “Auto” normally requires a sensor—this product includes dual onboard sensors, making it a universal fit for similar 14/17-pin VAG platforms.
Note: Always confirm the pin count of your existing switch before ordering. You can remove the stock switch in 3 seconds by pushing-in and rotating—no tools needed.
How the Dual Sensors Work
This upgraded switch uses two integrated light sensors pre-tuned to Indian driving conditions:
Primary external light sensor
Detects overall ambient brightness, ensuring headlights turn on at appropriate moments.Secondary sensitivity sensor
Helps manage temporary changes such as entering basements, passing through flyovers, or sudden cloudy conditions.
Both sensors work together to prevent unnecessary switching or flickering.
Green Backlight Styling
Skoda vehicles typically use white or green lighting on their switches. This product features a green backlit rotary knob, providing an OEM-look appearance that blends perfectly with Skoda interiors.
True Plug-and-Play Installation
Installation takes less than a minute:
Push your stock switch inward
Rotate it to release
Unplug the connector
Insert the new switch
Rotate & lock into place
No coding, no VCDS, no OBDeleven, and no wiring modification is needed.
