    Has anyone installed a front bull bar sa kinabit sa likod ng licence place? I want to have one para nakalagay ako ng additional fog lamps (seen a Hella Comet 550).... Should I pursue this plan? by the way, I would only use those extra fog lamps during provincial trips and heavy rains or total dark streets/roads....

    You might want to start with the vehicle make/model/year.

    Also, please elaborate on what you want to do.... include sample pictures or illustrations to drive your idea home.

    My ride is a Fortuner 2016 and although it has a stock fog light, I want to have another one (possibly Hella Comet 550) and install it on a "bull bar" which is like this on the link: Stainless Steel Bull Bar Type Car SUV Bumper License Plate Work Lamp Bracket Kit | Lazada PH

    ^^ yan pa isa reason, pag natapat ka sa birthday ni sir makokotongan ka dyan. Itago mo sa likod ng grill para hindi pansinin, huwag yung ganyan nasa nguso.

    from what i remember,
    real foglamps should be aimed even much lower than low beam headlamps. their glare is difficult to control, and will blind oncoming motorists.
    they are not designed for driving at speed, on ordinary public roads.
    on ordinary public roads, "if you need foglamps, you should not be driving fast at all."

    True.

    Fog lamps are designed to illuminate the immediate foreground and road markings. In foggy or extremely hazy situations, your visibility is obviously reduced to just several meters or so and the fog lamps help you see objects immediately in front of you, including road markings, so you can stay in your lane.

    Fog lights have a beam pattern that resembles a horizontal "blanket" and sometimes a bar.... with a low and wide cut-off. They are not flood lights and should not be aimed as such.

    I have a simple process of aiming the headlights. I park my car with headlights on beside a meralco post, walk to the next meralco post, then kneel down with butt touching my heel. If i am blinded it is too high. So i adjust it to be a lower than that (my chin level). Or if there is a sedan parked at that distance i aim lower than its side mirror. I don't blind oncoming cars, and i get to see pedestrians' legs in time enough to brake. This is for a van or suv. Aim lower for sedans (if you aim it the same the beam will be looking up).

    Mahirap kasi maghanap ng wall

    i also do this.

    but i also wait for late at night, in the workplace parking.
    when everyone has driven home, i position the car against the concrete wall there, and do my aiming.
