Want to rely on my fogs for heavy rains and out of town trips, so best light throw would be needed.

sir yakult if i were you go for 6000K na for your low beam and choose between 3000K HID or all weather halogen (both with 100 effectivity on heavy fog and rains) for your fog later. our low and fog have the same type of bulb which is H3

i have a 6000K and 3000K combo

bossing iba kasi ang focus ng fogs sa headlight eh.

ang fogs ang iniilawan niyan masmalapit sayo compared sa headlight

parang eto sample lang to
ung uang pic fogs lang pangalawa low beam at fogs pangatlow lahat nakasindi

eto fogs lang sa altis hindi na namin inadjust ang focus ng fogs pero pwede pa taas ng konti

eto fogs at low beam

wag ka mag alala hindi naman makakasilaw as long as tama ang focus

may iba ang balak nila fogs lang naka sindi then yun lang may hid minsan kasi hindi pwede yun dahil tendency para maka drive ka ng mabilis konti using the fog lights lang tataas mo yung fogs mo. so makakasilaw kana dahil ang fogs mo galing sa baba ng kotse ang liwanag so in order lumayo ang aabutin ng ilaw niyan tataas mo so magiging pataas ang buga ng ilaw which therefore magagalit na ang kasalubong mo . if you want hid sa fogs lang i suggest ok lang pero wag mo taas sobra yung focus nito

Sabagay since halos wala naman fog dito sa metro manila (smog meron fog halos wala) anything in your fog lamp should work.

Maliwanag nga lang para sa nagmamaneho. But what about the view from incoming vehicles?

If you think about it since wala naman fog dito e fog lamps with HIDs kinda look ricey. IMO lang naman.

hindi naman dahil "fog lights" ang pangalan e sa FOGS lang ang function nun. hindi nyo ba napapansin more on sa sides ang buga ng fog lights?

so kahit walang FOGS, mas maganda ang vision mo sa gabi dahil sa sides ang buga ng fog lights at meron din naman kahit konti sa front. atleast mas kita mo yung mga lubak. ako, kakabitan ko ng 3000k HID yung fog lights ng FD ko since palaging yun ang dala ko sa province at palaging gabi kami umuuwi doon.

TS, ano ba yung ride mo sir?
