    Extra foglights are far more effective provided that you place relays for its wiring. I have tried 35W bulbs but it is not that great on lighting compared to stock 21W bulbs.

    since the three of us have something in common, pick-up with canopy, i use the 50 watt bulb for the back up light (Narva) and one cibie back up lamp.

    If you have a roofrail, or somewhere to mount it on, the Raybrig roof lamps make good back-up lamps.

    vinj,
    hindi ba mahina ang mga raybrig na yan for backup lights? sa canopy ko mejo malayo kasi....ewan! maganda sana kung makatry..ano pa kaya magandang brand? hella?

    ARB,
    yung narva light bulb...did you rewire? hindi kaya matunaw naman ang mga tailights?

    gusto ko sana yung hindi mapapgastos masyado kasi nga backup lights naman lang... sir kimps! suggestions! ano pa ba pwede gawin? ilang beses na rin ako nagkamali sa pag back up!

    Binutas yung bumper ng Expedition namin for the back-up sensors and it is far from cosmetically degrading. Siyempre dapat mamili ka ng magandang brand at magaling na installer. Ford uses rubber surrounded sensors that look expensive. Meron sa Banawe, shiny Orocan-like plastic lang.

    Try to score some surplus foglamps if you're on a budget.

    it wont melt the lenses because you dont use it that long, you back siguro the most is a minute. it cost 160.00 each, i showed it to wiretap_md this afternoon. no i did not rewire but will do if i have money. lol

    ARB::: Kindly check if the bulbs are already available for 50W, then padala na lang kay wiretap_md pag luwas nya. What I got was only 35W in Banawe. Thanks!

    sir otep, ano yung likod ng exped niyo? metal bumper ba? how much did it cost? how far ba yung alrming distance niya? yung cibie backup lamp mo ba fog light? or just an aux. light?

    narva huh...hmmm...will it be that effective? considering that my canopy's rear window is tinted??? at night kasi my rear view mirror is rendered useless without enough light...kung baga useful lang kapag araw...

    back up light? ano yun? sensor gamit ko. pag na sense ko na bumangga na, tigil na

    but seriously, sesor ang gamit ko. bought it 5 years ago sa hongkong, back then ako lang yata meron nun. stick on yung akin, no need to make butas the bumper. it's pangit kasi if you make bili the one na you have to make butas pa.
    sorry cant remember how much I got it. I think mga 2500 bili ko.

    how about camera/tv combo? when not backing up you can use the camera for those voyeuristic trips with ungas and the tv for watching m****r g****n ;)
