    Thanks for this video, I've just installed reversing sensors on my Skoda Fabia Mark 2 2012 12V and it was very helpful.
    Here's some advice based on my experiences...
    1) Check you can remove the plastic trims *before* you start drilling holes etc as I found the "nut" that holds the light cluster in place had rusted onto the screw thread and it took ages to free it up!
    2) Not having the taps shown in the video, I tried using a "chocolate block" wire connector and cutting the wires to the reversing light, unfortunately the clearance between the back of the cluster and the bodywork was too narrow for it to fit, so I had to crimp on bullet connectors instead.
    3) It's not actually "impossible" to get the wires from the sensors to the control unit on your own. I got some stiff garden wire and fed it through the left most sensor hole, then made a loop to secure the end of each sensor wire and pulled it back.
    It was a bit fiddly, but it saves having to remove the bumper :-)
    Oh, and make sure you disconnect the boot light and don't leave the ignition on, otherwise you'll flatten the battery. Guess how I know that...
    Anyway, again my thanks for the useful video.
