Parking lights 5W5 bulbs need adjustment?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAs for the record: i had changed the Halogen bulbs for Reverse with cheap Led, due to price or the design of the plastic cover they didn't work good. Mediocre illumination so i install back the original.

Since is round shape and has no notches when i find the chance i will try to make a rotation to see if there is an improvement in the beam pattern.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanYes and Yes (for third time i post it). Red led bulds (for brakes) removed after few months and amber led bulbs (indicators) are still in use for about 8 years.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAs i have said I have done it, didn't worked (not so bright). I have done it, perfect result super bright but they blink faster due to relay lack. Life-saver in emergency situations (e.g stopped after a turn).

Door strips - what to adhere them to the door with?
Together with a buffing wheel a polished bar could help more than plain wheel. An example:

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI remembered Antzela Demetriou about the EU ''well, now we could go for shopping dresses in the foreign stores" (outside GR), so all these years before EU that was her main problem? As for ''Free travel'' ask the people in North GR for the buses with Bulgarians full of beggars-thieves and in the end of the day return back with pockets ''full". You were unborn where the people (Pasok) that put us in the EU were screaming hysterical against it but when they learn that the whole case has a lot of money (grants) they signed with both hands and became reach in a year. As for my extra light are these:

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanWe don't want EU (nor the ΞΞF),we never did but politicians decide for it without asking us. EU tries to alter our society bringing other ways of life to ruin the institution of the Family, to change our Race our customs and religion, to falsify our history and our traditions, to make us dependent on the USA and to make us give money to neo-Nazi Ukrainians. Led red bulbs instead of standard halogen, the led never worked so good (brightness) due to the old design on the plastic glass.

Felicia estate 5th door seal saga....
Ξe working in the street risking an injury from cars passing close by. .............................. @TonyW1967 6 years ego i have changed mine. The mechanic said that not only the quality of the seal counts but most of all the quality of the ''macaroni'' (that special adhesive stripe).

Suspension strut brace?
Skoda back then had it as accessory in the Sport parts cataloque, i have it my house. Mine isn't black but aluminium colour and different design, very helpful in turns (Sport style driving in Mountain roads). https://www.briskoda.net/forums/uploads/monthly_2021_03/IMG_20200104_094254.jpg.60157555fc4e63de408f744c183b40ae.jpg

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI have no intention to travel in the EU with my Felicia, i know that Traffic Police will stop me. I have in side indicator (orange) super bright,very visible at night and saviour in corners but they need a relay otherwise they ''click'' faster than factory ones. In Brake lights i have tested but didn't worked so good and removed them (the design of the plastic cover is old and halogen bulbs work better).

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAlso what you call ''hazard lights" we call them ''Alarm''. π The extra led bulb isn't something strong so does not create problems (blur) to other drivers although the cover is plastic, just shows one click better than another car comes from corner. In City dark small roads in low speed helps a lot, no gain in Highways or Mountain roads.

Parking lights 5W5 bulbs need adjustment?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThis is Skoda Felicia's front side indicator (here we calle them ''Flash") Here is how it looks from inside Orange arrow = the socket for orange bulb Blue arrow = my idea to make a patent, installed a extra Led bulb and turn them on when i am in City at night looking for a parking space, lot a small dark side roads and danger from other drivers so these bulbs give a more wider \ / pattern in my light so let's say ''in advance'' the other drives can see (via that light) that another car is coming. Here is an example (my photoshop) I will post pictures in the future.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanHere we the olders say them ''1st scale'', we use them (alone) early in the morning or early in the afternoon (when there is no need for head lights yet) so other drivers can see us better, also those hours they light the cluster and this is helpful to ''wake-up'' us to watch the temperature-gasoline level.

Doors scratched in my Felicia.
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThings are getting worst in GR these years, not only local teenagers don't pay attention (cars-motorcycles-scooters) when drive or park but we have non-locals which don't care about the law because the Police under commands does not go after them or the judge shows too much ''indulgence'' in their penalty (when the trial comes after many years). I have done one scratch in my bumper but the others weren't my fault, even if i pay 1000 euros and paint completely the car like new it's a matter of days to see scratches from keys from b@st@rd kids at night. https://www.autotriti.gr/autoaccessories/jpg/news/700/asdfssgdfgfdh.jpg I wonder if the Wrapping is a solution...

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanWhen the Spring comes i will need at least 250β¬ for repair-paint work of the bumper. Already has 3 damages and looks very bad (aesthetically).

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanSome teens buy cheap and install in their cars chinese Xenon HID kits,the beam is so wrong aiming so high that blinds everyone and the phrase for them here in GR is ''he is lighting the balcony of the 2th floor of the block of flats across the road''. The previous were Osram Night breaker style is ''ice cool'' colour but after so many years turn to yellowish. So if i turn the socket clockwise the situation will gets better or not?

Parking lights 5W5 bulbs need adjustment?
There are some posts here https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/504962-engine-bay-surprises/page/4/#findComment-5987804 but i didn't wat to add more because that Topic was for different reason. I tried to find a dark area with no external lights and take some pictures from my new bulbs that i have installed,the spot isn't ideal but it's impossible to find a dark alley here to take photos. The new bulbs are 2.5W and 5500K but the result is very different with the previoys ones. I am standing upright in the driver's side and below is how they look from the side.
