Do I need a relay for my foglamps?

"Imitation comet" ---> how much

nabasag yung comet 450 ko e, ang hirap palitan MAHAL

Kung meron siyang covers I suggest use the covers when not in use yung lamp coz madaling mabasag yung lens.

based on experience a 30 ampere fuse can't support (2) 100 watt bulbs laging pumuputok, what I did was to install (1) 25 ampere per 100 watt bulb never had any busted fuse after that.

mas ok if you can buy a relay socket para mas madali yung pag kabit hindi mo na kailangang mag install ng terminals sa wires just connect the wires then plug in the relays.

If you are using "X" brand of relay it would be wiser to have all your relays of the same brand so if ever may mag loko madaling ma isolate yung problem pwede pang magpalitan.

Yung orig na Hella Comet 500 driving lamps 2,200 lang ang bili ko (2 pcs) then I bought 2 Flosser all weather H3 bulbs for Php 350 each (55W). Ganda suggestion ni Rediesel regarding the relay sockets. Yup possible na hindi kaya ng 30A fuse ang 2x100W na bulb but a 30A relay can switch it on/off. Yung covers, nagiisip ako ngayon coz pag nilagay ko baka makalimutan ng wife ko tanggalin pag gabi so tunaw yung plastic cover but then pag nabasag naman yung lens patay din. Hmmmm....

buy the double pull switch, yun ginagamit ng jeepney. pag nagdagdag ka ng fogs may available switch ka pa. use relays. may sockets na puwede mong pagkabit-kabitin.

Otep:: Those relays will suffice. I suggest you get the OEM switch. Pricey, but your dash will still look neat :D

The wires, connectors, and fuse value should match what your lamps require.

Thank you sir.
Actually may nakalagay na na fog lamp (not originally on the car, aftermarket lang) pero nahugot mga wires. Di din kasi maganda socket.
May 2 wires from the positive terminal of the battery, and 1 from the negative na connected na din sa mga ilaw +1 na connected sa switch. Medyo magulo. Hehe. Pero check ko ulit later base sa diagram mo sir. Thanks.
