Do I need a relay for my foglamps?

[OTEP]

Ikakabit ko na kasi (finally) yung Hella Comets na galing kay KimpOy. Ang tanong ko lang ay kailangan ba nito ng relay? May four prong 30A relay ako dito sa bahay (Hella). Pwede na ba iyon?

Maraming salamat.

Thank you nga din pala kay sir Sheep for the aluminum angle bar.

Post ako ng pics kapag natapos ang proyekto bukas.

hindi ba malambot yung aluminum angle bar? baka mag vibrate yung mga foglamps mo.

sir otep,

mas maganda kung may relay at may sariling linya (wire to the fuse box, separate fuse din) yung fog lamps mo.

[ARB]

yes you need relay so that the swith will not bear the load. DIY ang pagkabit ng relay.

[Sheep]

sir otep dont mention it post ka lang pics .

[OTEP]

So pwede na yung relay ko? Yup, I will get a fuse for it when I get a switch. Thanks for reminding me guys.

Boybi,

Magaan lang yung fogs ko. Matigas yung angle bar. Pwee nang pamukpok.

Just installed a Comet 500 the other day and it is better for you to have a relay. A 30A relay is more than enough coz a 100w x 2 bullbs will only drain less than 20A. Pag wala kasing relay masusunog yung contacts ng switch mo. Did you get the driving lamps or the fog lamps? I changed mine to the Comet 500 driving lamps coz my big horn has a PIAA fog lamps and sabog yung light profile niya. As designed, pang foggy condition siya. Yung driving lamps ng Hella mas concentrated sa gitna yung beam giving you longer visibility for better reaction. Just sharing the info.

Sir garyq,

Actually, sabi ni ser Kim imitation Comets po ang mga ito. I think fog ang pattern niya (low and wide).

Thank you for enlightening me on the relay thing. I'm going to get the switch kina Glenn. For trucking applications ata iyon. Ganda kasi, eh.

Pwede na yung Hella relay. Use thicker wires as well para may option ka to use 100W bulbs if you want.

Share the pictures and procedures para saming mga newbie

"Imitation comet" ---> how much

nabasag yung comet 450 ko e, ang hirap palitan MAHAL

Kung meron siyang covers I suggest use the covers when not in use yung lamp coz madaling mabasag yung lens.

based on experience a 30 ampere fuse can't support (2) 100 watt bulbs laging pumuputok, what I did was to install (1) 25 ampere per 100 watt bulb never had any busted fuse after that.

mas ok if you can buy a relay socket para mas madali yung pag kabit hindi mo na kailangang mag install ng terminals sa wires just connect the wires then plug in the relays.

If you are using "X" brand of relay it would be wiser to have all your relays of the same brand so if ever may mag loko madaling ma isolate yung problem pwede pang magpalitan.

Yung orig na Hella Comet 500 driving lamps 2,200 lang ang bili ko (2 pcs) then I bought 2 Flosser all weather H3 bulbs for Php 350 each (55W). Ganda suggestion ni Rediesel regarding the relay sockets. Yup possible na hindi kaya ng 30A fuse ang 2x100W na bulb but a 30A relay can switch it on/off. Yung covers, nagiisip ako ngayon coz pag nilagay ko baka makalimutan ng wife ko tanggalin pag gabi so tunaw yung plastic cover but then pag nabasag naman yung lens patay din. Hmmmm....

buy the double pull switch, yun ginagamit ng jeepney. pag nagdagdag ka ng fogs may available switch ka pa. use relays. may sockets na puwede mong pagkabit-kabitin.

Otep:: Those relays will suffice. I suggest you get the OEM switch. Pricey, but your dash will still look neat :D

it's de cajon, po.
a decent auto electrician can do it.

[oj88]

The wires, connectors, and fuse value should match what your lamps require.

Thank you sir.
Actually may nakalagay na na fog lamp (not originally on the car, aftermarket lang) pero nahugot mga wires. Di din kasi maganda socket.
May 2 wires from the positive terminal of the battery, and 1 from the negative na connected na din sa mga ilaw +1 na connected sa switch. Medyo magulo. Hehe. Pero check ko ulit later base sa diagram mo sir. Thanks.
