fog lamps in sedans

[mrpink]

pang porma lang ba ito? .. i always thought fog lamps are powerful lights that can peirce through tough fog .. naalala ko sa pickup na gamit namin before .. ang lalaki ng mga foglamps ... but the fog lamp accessories in the cars today appear to be weak .. mas malakas pa main headlights ko ..

Actually, driving lights na lang ang mga yan, hindi na talagang "fog" lamps. Their beams are dispersed, low and wide, unlike the real fog lamps which have pencil type beams and are colored yellow so as to pierce the fog. IMO, they're still useful, when used in conjunction with the headlights.

As mentioned, fog lamps have a low, wide, and short ranged beam pattern. This is to keep the reflection from the fog minimal (which is the case if it were bright, and far aimed lights). Most likely the lamps in your pick-up before we're "driving lamps".

I read through this... http://www.accessconnect.com/piaalamp.htm

May driving beams, fog/foul weather beam, dichroic driving beam, pencil beam, etc.

So it probably depends on what you need.

PIAA and Hella come to mind... There was a thread about where to get Hella locally... PIAA I don't know... Let's try the Search function.

Yung sakin taiwan binigay ng casa free kasi, ayun sira kaagad isang bulb . Maghahanap na lang ako ng osram para dito.

auxiliary lamps would be the more appropriate term IMO.

fog lamps doesn't need to be so powerful to become effective. it is all about its proper placement.

the OEM fog lamps installed in vehicles will effectively cut through fog. try this in tagaytay.

try catz ;) first time i had foglamps installed on my ride yesterday..kitang kita yung mga debris/lubak directly infront ng car..dati may area na mahina ang ilaw pag on headlights ko, ngayon na buo na yung area na yun because of the fogs..

[the_wildthing]

I've heard of Catz... where'd you get yours?

[caloyski5]

from 323f



second hand though..pero not bad. sold it because nakahanap siya ng orig..sold it to me for gas money lang..hehe mga 4k plus daw yun e

[the_wildthing]

Wow good deal... hanap na rin ako ngayon either PIAA or Catz kasi tag-ulan na hirap makakita pag gabi... Already had my headlight lenses cleaned pero baka malabo na mata ko hehe.

oem foglamps are the best, they are designed well for the intended car. if ur considering aftermarket lamps go for genuine hella or bosch.

[caloyski5]

oem sana ako kaya lang price is 5 times more kung surplus and 10 times more kung brand new. huhuhuhu wala pa oem switch yun which costs 1.2k
