Question on SUV rear fog lights

[onewaytrip]

Bakit po ba mayroong ibang SUV's na nakikita ko (some Pajeros, Troopers, Prados) na may rear fog lights sa bumper, kapag gabi hindi na umiilaw 'yung proper taillights nila. Tsaka ung signal lights bakit ung sa ibaba lamang ang gumagana? Ganun ba talaga ang design nun?

[pajerokid]

I can only answer for Pajeros.

What you saw was not a 'Rear Foglamp' but the European version tail end.

You see, those combination lamps in the bumpers have both brake and signal lights. EU law requires SUVs to have both turn signal and brake lights viewable from most of 180degrees. This is not possible with the local version as you can not see the right turn signal from the left since it's blocked by the spare tire.

Real Rear fogs, such as mine (Bastard US version) are independent of the brakelamp system.


As to why the regular combination lamps are not working.... hmmmm Good question hehe. I guess theyre relegated to being rear fogs.

i think reverse lamp ang purpose nito kasi yun ibang reverse lights mahina. Pag umaatras ka hindi masyado visible. I'm planning to install 2 of these kasi hindi ko makita masyado pag umaatras ako pag gabi. Just my MO

The lights on the bumpers are their combination lamps. In addition to what PK has said, Aussie law also requires both combination lamps to be visible when the vehicle is viewed from the rear at a 45 degree angle. The spare tire restricts this view hence the relocation of the lamps on SUV's with external spares.

What is left on the body are dummy lenses which on some models contain the reverse lamps and the rear fog lamp (driver's side only).

rear fog lamp? is this separate from the original taillight cluster attached to the body?

[onewaytrip]

salamat po sirs. naliwanagan ako... may benefit din pala ung mataas na signal light ng cr-v.

Rear foglamps are usually separate from the taillamp cluster. On the Pajero, it is mounted where the original combination lamps were. It uses the same red lens but the bulb inside is brighter (same intensity as the brake lamp).

para sa mga makukulit na naka high beams sa likod. hahaha jok jok jok

yung fog lamps sa likod hindi naman ganun nakaka silaw...

[notEworthy27]

so parang nakapatong lang sa may bumper? yun ba yung parang mga "turbo" or third brake lights?
