Hi,
I currently drive a 2019 SEAT Ibiza FR with Full LED Headlights (with automatic self levelling). I find these lights fantastic.
I am considering buying a 2026 Skoda Fabia SE L Edition. Which has basic LED headlights and has a manual headlight height adjustment knob on the dashboard. Does anyone know if I would find the light output to be inferior to that on my Ibiza?
The Fabia Monte Carlo Edition does have Full LED Headlights (with automatic self levelling), but I don't like the sports seats in this car. Hence, I can't just get the Monte Carlo instead.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards

It’s a legal requirement for led headlights to have automatic level control. I’d be very surprised if it’s got an adjustment switch on the dash .

I had thought the same. But, here's a link to 3 new SE L Edition Fabia's on Autotrader with the Headlight levelling knob next to the rotary headlight switch (as per the pics on the adverts). The Monte Carlo Edition just has a blanking plate here.

Incidentally, The lower spec versions of the Kamiq, Scala, Polo, Taigo and T-Cross all have the same levelling knob.

My Swift has manual adjustment for height but automatic high beam, full led obviously, wonderful things.

I'm also considering the Scala SE L Edition. That has Full LED headlights, but still has manual height adjustment.

Don't find it a problem tbh, not sure I've ever altered them,. Never been flashed.

Looks like it’s depending on how many lumens the led light produces. Anything above 2000 needs automatic adjustment. If it’s less , then auto adjust is not mandatory.

Don't have a problem with the manual adjustment. Just wasn't sure if the headlight output was lower as it didn't have the automatic levelling.
It's reassuring that you're happy with the performance of your headlights.

Perhaps more when you are behind them than in front ?
