About Tail Light
Part of the car's lighting setup, the Octavia Skoda rear tail light, is an important safety feature of the car enabling other road users to clearly see the vehicle from the rear.
The rear tail light is an external light that fixes to the outside of the car at the rear and is contained in either a metal or plastic housing. The tail lights can be in the same housing as other lighting such as the indicator lights, brake lights, parking lights, reverse lights and hazard lights, forming one single tail light with several functions. When indicating to go left, the indicator or signal light bulbs flash to indicate to other road users that the driver intends to turn left. The indicator light is also used by drivers in emergency situations to alert other road users that there is a potential hazard. Brake lights illuminate when the driver applies pressure to the brakes to let other road users know that the car is slowing down or stopping. Reverse lights illuminate when the driver puts the car into reverse, indicating to other road users that the car is reversing. Parking lights and hazard lights are used when the car is pulled up on the roadside, to alert other road users to the fact that there is a parked car. On some cars the tail light is a separate unit, however, often clustered together with the other rear vehicle lights. The tail light is wired up to come on when the front side lights are on and emits a red light which is designed to be duller than the brake light, so that the brake light is distinguishable from the tail light.
Unfortunately, because of their positioning on the vehicle and fragile bulbs, the Octavia Skoda rear tail light is prone to being smashed and cracked, particularly in a crash but also as a result of stones and debris flying up from the road or badly maneuvered reversing.
When replacing the rear tail light, it is important that you purchase a tail light intended for the car. Rear tail lights come in many different sizes and styles. Purchasing a new Octavia Skoda tail light will ensure you get a quality part that fits the make and model of your car.
Skoda Octavia trivia
- Although it was released in 1996, there was actually a Skoda Octavia in production between 1959 and 1971, although the 1996 model is completely new. So, despite the completely different cars, the Octavia has been called the 'heart of the Skoda brand".
- In Greece, the second generation was called the Octavia5, and in India, it was marketed as the Skoda Laura.
- The first-generation Skoda Octavia had a bit of a facelift in 2000. However, even after the second generation was introduced, that first generation was still being manufactured and sold around the world. First-gen models were marketed as the Skoda Octavia Tour.
- The Skoda Octavia Greenline Estate has been called 'one of the most sensible purchases you can make." The combination of low price, high value, and space is one thing, but the potential 800 miles on a tank of diesel is a game-changer.
- All Skodas come with what the company calls 'Simply Clever' features. In the Skoda Octavia, you will find an ice scraper inside the fuel filler cap, a double-sided floor mat in the boot, and a rubbish bin on the inside door panel.
