bakit ganun ang mga tail lamp clusters?

[wowiesy]

napansin ko to sa ford escape at sa honda jazz, civic ... yung tail lamp cluster nila, from the outside.. may malaking portion na red (in the case of escape and jazz eh dalawa ito), and then there's a portion na puti or amber...

i understand that the amber is for the signal lights and the white light is for reverse light... ang pinagtataka ko... sa escape and sa jazz... although 2 yung portion na red, ang umiilaw lang talaga ay isang portion.. they use (i think standard naman to sa lahat ng auto) a double filament bulb di ba... para one filament lights up pag brake, another filament lights up pag naka on ang park lights...

so ang question ko.. kung di rin naman nila "iniilawan" yung isa pang red portion, why put it there in the first place? eh sa ibang cars naman like revo, rav, trooper na very compact yung tail lamp cluster eh isang portion lang talaga yung red...

reflectorized yun kung mapapansin mo...sa mga european/american car tail lights standard yan. additional safety feature.

for the rav4, yung "reflector" part ay hindi kasama sa tail lamp. nakalagay siya seperately sa bumper.

alam ko yung escape ganun din...

yup, reflector yung portion na walang bulb. safety feature yan lalo na kapag hindi naman naka-ON yung car tapos madilim. so pagnailawan yun, magrereflect para makita.

[kiper]

meron din reflector sa bumper..sa ibang sasakyan meron din yan.

for additional safety lang talaga.

pag bumili ka naman ng mga aftermarket pampagwapo tail lights baka wala na yan.

[paltik]

sa 2nd gen crv nga tatlo pa yung red na part.

yung extra ata rear foglight sa europe

[Karding]

tama, added safety features nga ito.

RE: foglamp sa European cars

Nauuso na yata dito sa US ang European fog lamps na yan. Although, gamit ng mga wannabes yung rear foglamp kahit walang fog. May nakita akong 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse na ang back-up light eh ginawang fog lamp, its always on. Nakakalito, akala mo mag-back up sya in the middle of the highway Very unsafe, at sana ay mahuli ng parak.

The two bottom round lamps are supposedly the back-up light, pero the idiot made it a rear fog lamp at nakakasilaw, its on all the time.

Karding,
Di ba Cali ka, bakit Florida plate yata yang Eclipse ba yan? Out of State? tawag mo sa CHP.

[SunTzu]

rear fog light ata yan. Euro specs.

[OTEP]

On the CR-V, the blanks are used to house the federally-mandated side marker lamps and Euro-market rear foglamp (driver's side only).

On some vehicles (e.g. Europeans), the blanks contain the rear foglamps or their provisions for such devices (driver's side only).

[ssaloon]

yup, rear fog yan...
