My 66 plate had only the front daytime running lights but I noticed too that the my facelift fr has the rears on as well as standard. There are a few features I have noticed that usually have to be programmed through vcds or obd eleven that are activated as standard on the facelift. Saves me the job of doing them!!!

Spoke directly to Seat Customer service re my Leon FR order.
It has been built (yay) and is in transit to the port of exit. Apparently it can take up to another 6 weeks for me to get hold of it (worst case).
So that would be 20 weeks since ordering..
The dealer I bought from, has been completely useless. I'll be trying to get some sort of offer for the delay and shocking customer service.

Ordered my new Leon ST FR tech 1.8 Tsi DSG 3 weeks ago and have just received a build week 26. (3 weeks time) how long would you expect me to wait once built. Was originally quoted 21 weeks. Need to start thinking about flogging my current car.
Im new to seat but love the spec and price compered to other vag vehicles.:

Ours was under 2 weeks from build to dealer but I think it can be up to 4 weeks.
It's literally that the led is full led that never needs replacing
Halogen is just the side lights and indicators that are led
Thank you very much!
I have some doubts in the aspect of the car, without the extra "full led" that line of light in the lamp (I think it is the daylight) comes in the default version?

I have full led. Don't even ask yourself why not. It's money well deserved. When they say "full led", it means "full led" - it's the front halogens, the fog lights, the back bulbs, every single thing is led. I don't have a single bulb on my car.
Since I could afford Xenons, I told myself I wouldn't ever go back to Halogens. Seat no longer has Xenon option, only the better led option, and as far as I've been told, the current led lights are even better than the previous ones. And besides, they're much prettier going up than going down like before: \== SEAT ==/
PS: I can't see it on the simulators, but I recall seeing it on the manual. There is some trims (Xcellence I think) that comes by default with front leds, and then the "full leds" package is no longer > 1000 (€/£), but something like 300. This means the full led package for that case is only the additional fog and back lights.
I bet your reverse light is still halogen?!! Mine is anyway which is very upsetting.
New facelift led lights are better than previous yes and anything with tech pack should have full led lamps iirc.
You are so right. I'm gonna go back and complain right away. I've been promised "no bulbs anywhere".
Here's the left side, with the fog light:

It does seem pretty poor given it's literally the only bulb, surely they could have fitted an led bulb???? I would swap it out for an led bulb but I did that on my previous my2016 leon and it interfered with the dab whenever I put it in reverse

I'd really like to know the reason they used a conventional bulb for the reversing light too, it's very odd considering they've used LEDs for everything else.
Still, a decent LED bulb isn't too expensive and is an easy fit. Mine causes no DAB interference, and nor do my LED indicator bulbs.

It doesn't even look like a plain 21W bulb, but the smaller one, maybe the typical 5W, maybe the less typical 10W. I'm pretty sure a good triplet of white leds would produce more light than the bulb. If they did it the triplet red leds for the fog, why not that one.
Exactly! They'd have had to make different parts for RHD and LHD markets anyway, the cost of adding a white LED would have been almost insignificant really.
But then it still baffles me that new cars from various manufacturers are launched even now and don't have mostly LEDs as standard. Even the new Astra has rear LEDs as an optional extra across various trim levels; my 2007 Mazda3 had them as standard!
Just had mine brought forward from week 29 to week 28 (we are on week 25 this week I believe). That makes week 29 w/c 17th July. Assuming it then takes 2-4 weeks for the car to be delivered do you think its work telling them to keep it until the new reg arrives 1st September? Will that make any difference to the car's value in 4 years time when the PCP deal ends?
p.s. ordered mid March

Yeah this is a pain in the are because I have a spare led bulb from my 66 plate leon but because seat have been extra helpful in changing the bulb type I've got to source a different bulb that should have been led from the start!!!!!
