anyone using LED foglams?

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.

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.

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.

Yun! Bawang! Hehehe!

Hella spotties with LED bulbs, baka pwede din. Tutal back up lang naman.

How's the performance of these LED lamps in rainy/foggy situations?

^ If it's super white, I think it will be useless on fogs and heavy rain.

ayun din nga ang akala ko... i have a 41" Cree LED bar combination of flood and spot light, roof mounted--- i use it last fri. going to IBA zambales heavy rains along SLEX, SCTEX all the way to IBA zambales... ang laking bagay... kung headlight lang and fog light lang ang gamit ko... parang wala din akong ilaw.. pero pag yung led bar ang gamit ko night and day talaga ang difference... i can even speed up to 110kph.. on certain areas.. ( everytime may kasalubong ako... malayo palang off ko na agad... more or less 300x ko ata turn on and off)

on heavy downpour and on asphalt road... on heavily tinted windshield, i can see up to 200-300 meters away....

Kahit paminsan minsan lang ang pag out of town.. for safety reasons... I can say a must pa din pag naka LED BAR... basta lang ANG PRIMARY concern mo eh hindi ka maka silaw ng kapwa motorista mo... kasalubong man o kasabay...

if budget permits... maglalagay din ako ng 31" LED BAR sa front bumper ko....
