Doc Otep illegal pala maglagay sa roof? Tama lang pala plan ko maglagay sa nudge bar ng 2 lamps.

Alam ko po pwede naman sir pero dapat nadidisconnect ang wires or may covers for urban use. For off highway, off road or private road use, pwede naman po.

Frustration is the only thing you have since nothing you can do about it.

same sentiments here. no match naman yung ganti ko na mag hi beam dahil olats sa LED bars nila. hehe

May fb yung mga sellers nyan. I sent them a message/request for them to remind their customers not to use those in city roads and hiways and to tell their customers that those are offroad lights only. Ang reply? Di daw nila responsibility yun, nagbebenta lang daw sila. Ang galing!

nakita ko rin FB site nung isang seller na based sa manila. siguro kayo yung nagpost about that sa isang item niya. hehe

teka teka teka... di naman LED bar yung kakabit ko ah.

ulitin ko nga, yung iba nabasa lang yung LED at fog galit na galit na agad... yung bullbar may provision for two foglamps, currently may 4" halogen foglamps na nakakabit pero flood ang throw niya hindi spot kaya mahirap gamitin kahit out of town. so ang plan ko palitan siya ng LED foglamps pero sa ilalim ng headlamps ko na ilalagay, to minimize glare if meron man. may seller kasi ng foglamps na focused ang beam niya parang flashlight. di sabog. yun ang target ko. okay?

pero naisip ko lang, if feasible man yung plano ko above eh kakabitan ko na rin ng foglamps or LED bar yung bullbar. pambulag lang sa mga irresponsible LED bar users out there. pwede rin pang flash instead na high beam.

and yes, i know the rule about foglamps above the headlamps as illegal. yung number of foglamps ang di ko alam.

Ah, the LED bar! Hehehe! If there were only a quick and easy way to install one -- not to mention a cost effective option -- nakaganito na sana yung van at suv ko.

Anyhow, that's wishful thinking. As I had shared with a friend who regularly travels on his Ford Ranger T6 to Metro Manila from Bulacan, and who wants better lighting, a LED bar might be a quick fix, but how usable will it be? If you're a responsible motorist, you wouldn't turn that ON in MM traffic. Perhaps to piss off a cab or PUV, but that would be it, otherwise you'd be branded an *$$hole. So, masusulit mo ba ang P20K investment mo? Not really. Unless you have a farm or regularly go out offroad, which is something my friend and I do not have and do not do.

So is LED totally useless? Not quite. Nori's idea of shorter LED fogs intrigues me. Usable Auxiliary lighting is what we're looking for. Perhaps shorter LED fogs might be strong enough to augment your current halogen HL and not be offensive enough as their LED bar brethren. Yun nga lang, for those folks selling the shorter LED fogs, di ako makakuha ng demo pix against a wall or something.

minsan pa lang naman ako ginabi sa farm ko. grabe ang dilim! actually maliwanag yung hid headlights ko (55 watts retrofit by redline) so maliwanag yung dirt road especially pag naka high beam. pero yung sa sides yun ang nakakatakot. para bang may laging lumilipad na aswang sa passenger side

hella driving lights lang ikakabit ko, back up sa hid just in case biglang mapundi.

saka bawang, sabit sa side mirror.
