fog light

[x-wind]

bagay kaya ito ............

[x-wind]

alin kaya mas ok may install na fog light or wala........

[Bogeyman]

Uh, dude, me fog lights ka na sa bumper mo. Baka masyado nang maliwanag yan. :-)

Suggest ko you install the additional fog lights in other areas of your ride, like the roof, para mas spread out yung ilaw mo, hindi naka-concentrate lang sa isang lugar.

[Ungas]

Looks fine to me. Have you checked the light distribution alignment yet? You can align the beams with the same height as with your bright. Beam too low will project same as with dim lights. Too high, your won't be able to notice where the lights bounce off.

Afaik, we have a law prohibiting aux lights to be installed higher than your existing headlights. You are allowed to install them at even height or lower than your natural lights. Unless it is fully covered and for display use only. But if the lights are found to be functional, operatives might have to remove it from your vehicle.

And another law that I remember, auxiliary fog lights are not allowed to operate within metro/city streets.

I'll look for that law, if I'll be lucky enough to find it.

ungas thanks sa info, actually naka temporary lang sya try ko lang kunan ng pic kaya di pa sya naka align and wiring. parang mas ok sa ibabaw ng bumper naka install naka align sa headlight.........

[Ungas]

Kung nauuna sya sa bumper, you have the risk na mabasag ang housing pag nauntog yan.

On the other hand pag nasa ibabaw naman ng bumper, mahaharangan ng air flow ang fins ng aircon & radiator. What I could think of now, is put aux fans behind the grill. Then place the fog lights above your bumper. That is if you want to bore holes in it.

Teka, steel bumper ba yan or plastic? Pag plastic kasi malabot yan unless may steel bracket sa loob na pwede mo isama sa bolts. Kundi lakas ng vibrations ng ilaw mo lalo na Isuzu engines which is known for it engine vibrations. :D

sir do u think dito sa pic na to mahaharangan pa rin air flow ang fin ng radiator? balak ko kc ito na lang position na to......

steel sir bumper ng xwind

ungas: how to checked the light distribution alignment?

[konde]

para sa akin ok na yung existing fog lights mo sir. but if you really want to install those additional fog lights, mas ok yung sa bumper nakalagay (second pic).

[revoGSX]

xwind,
parang meron kulang or parang mismatch somewhere pag naka-attach yung extra fog lights.. well, it might be just me lang

matagal ko na rin balak magkabit ng extra fog lights sa revo kaso di ko maisip kung paano ko sisimulan at baka maging baduy.. ang naisip ko is to use a front bullbar (w/o wings) then dun nakalagay fog lights.. kaso di ko pa rin ma-picture kakalabasan hehe..
and projector fog lights sana kung meron..

[Ungas]

Partial blocking na rin yan. But you will only notice if air is not sufficient to cool the radiator while cruising at 100-120kph. Mapapansin mo na tataas na lang ng kaunti ang temperature. Pero kung city driving lang naman kadalasan ang takbo, hindi tataas ang engine temp.

I would advice you to place 10mm thick rubber washers inbetween the steel bumper and light bracket. You might need to replace the stock mounting bolt that came with the lights kung kakapusin sa haba. Para mabawasan ang excessive light vibrations.

TROOPER128::: Andito po yung link para i-tama ang light projections. Visual Headlight Aiming Procedure
Tackled under Re-Aim Headlight

revoGSX::: It might be a case of color mismatch between the lights projected. But you will surely need those yellow fog lights when you encounter thick fogs. White beams are known to just bounce off from fogs. But yellow light penetrates more.

Btw, may mga clear lens aux lights available na locally. Most of the models I've seen are under Hella brand.

thanks a lot ungas
balak ko di sa bumper, sa baba lang ng grill sya butasan for mounting bolt ......
alin ba mas ok un clear lens with yellow bulb or yellow lens with clear bulb

[OTEP]

Clear lens for me. Para match sa mga clear lenses on the front of your AUV.

Ikaw na bahala sa bulb color. hehehe.

[Ungas]

Mas safe sa bumper. Clear lens with yellow caps gets my vote.

[rsnald]

may bago na namang project si master xwind :D

comment ko lang, malakas magvibrate yung bumper natin pre while on idle or when starting up, or even when starting from a stop. meron akong nakita dati, sa bullbars nya nilagay, pero maliit lang na fog lamps.

question sa mga fog lamp masters (master ungas, otep, xwind, etc)

meron bang nabibli na sodium lamp/bulb para sa fog lights? yung pareho ng bumbilya ng ilaw sa highway na madilaw yung ilaw nya. ang ilaw kasi ng sodium light (yellowish) can cut thru fog and rain compared to ordinary light ..hence enhancing visibility. anong wattage available yung mga ganung units?
thanks in advance mga masters ...

[x-wind]

master rsnald eh mas ok pala yun alam mo na sodium light mas ok siguro yan rather than fog light. alam mo naman problem natin sa headlight natin. sana may h4 and h3 para relay na lang problem natin to modify yun head/fog light natin.

[calcite]

Ungas,

Is the law prohibiting installation of foglights higher than the existing headlights applicable to metro manila only or throughout the Philippines. I work down south and see lots of vehicles with extra lamps on the roof here. I am also tempted to install roof mounted lamps to improve visibility specially on long night-drives.

[OTEP]

Nationwide regulations regarding only one pair of fog lights and not higher than the standard headlamps.

Of course, no one really cares.

And pwede mo ding pilosopohin saying that what you have are other forms of auxillary lighting (floodlamp, spotlamp, etc.) and not 'fog lamps'.

[Ungas]

rsnald::: Medyo may kalakihan yata yung sodium bulbs at wala pa akong nakakakitang sasakyan na meron nito.

x-wind::: Rubber washers na lang katapat nyan pag merong excessive vibrations. And do not over torque your bolts. Tamang mahigpit na pwedeng adjust na hindi naman gumagalaw sa lakas ng hangin pwede na. :D (magulo ba?)

calcite::: Afaik, that law is applicable throughout our nation. The problem is, law enforcers don't know much about apprehensions. It maybe ok for some municipalities, but even Metro Manila enforcers have its draw backs. Nung umpisa implemented ito lalo na sa Balintawak area. But after a few months, tail lights shceme naman ang hinuhuli nila. Nakalimutan na yung previous laws.
