Clearance/Parking Lights

[umzzzzz]

originally, yung park lights ko (tama ba term?)ay kasama sa headlamps, walang ilaw sa corner...yung lights sa front corners ay pang signal purposes only...

eto'ng tanong:

how do you tap the wiring (DIY) in such a way na kapag naka switch yung park lights, iilaw din yung corners? mahirap kasi makita yung clearance talaga ng car kapag madilim kapag walang ilaw yung corners, right? riiiiiiight ...

TIA...

yung sa akin pinare-wire ko lang tapos pinalagyan ko ng sariling relay at switch para pwede ko patayin kahit naka park lights ako.

[umzzzzz]

pareng aceshark, e paanu kapag gusto ko lang talaga isabay sa park lights? kelangan pa ba ng relay? hindi na diba? kelangan lang ng double contact bulbs (kasi gagamitin din sa signal) plus yung pag tap sa wiring, tama ba? paano ko ba gagawin yung pag tap? sensya na kung magulo...hindi ko alam ang terms eh. sa mga nakakaintindi, ang galing nyo! heheh...salamat ulit!

OT: taga batangas ka ba?

Double contact bulbs require double contact sockets as well... Mahirap yatang tap lang kasi kung ita-tap mo lang, maiiba ang resistance/load, baka hindi kaya.

Tama si wildthing, kung gusto mong may parklight and at the same time signal light na magkasama sa isang ilaw, u need to have a double contact bulb and a double contact socket. ganyan ginawa ko sa kotse ng erpats ko. ung signal light nya sa likod ginawa kong double contact para pag bukas ko ng park light naka ilaw na rin sya pero kulay yellow din, para sa akin ganda tingnan sa gabi. red and yellow sabay na naka bukas! madali lang yan. DIY lang. kung gusto mo tulungan kita. san ba location mo?

umzzzzz: Betz had it correctly. I personally did the same stuff to my former car (lancer96-itlog), pero sa tail lights/rear signal lights. Not to worry about overloading the line,- mahina lang ang power required by the additional 2 bulbs.

[umzzzzz]

Betz and CVT: salamat sa replies!!! meron na akong double contact light bulbs at double contact sockets...anung sunod na step?

[CVT]

1. Replace the socket of your signal light with a double contact socket.
a. Wire-in one of the contacts of your double contact socket with the original signal light wire.
b. Connect(short) the other contact of your double contact socket with the wire of the park light.
c. Common ground sila

2. Do this for both sockets of your signal lights.

3. That's it.

Good luck!

[umzzzzz]

yaaaaan...salamat! ganun pala. ayus. gagawin ko na... i'll let you know pag ok na...

[mcbry]

kailangan mo palitan ng double contact bulb at double contact socket.

[CVT]

umzzzz: I am not certain, but I think double contact bulbs have different filament diameters/configs, resulting to different light intensities,- so you have to be sure that you are consistent with the contact (in the double contact socket) that is connected to the signal light wire and with the one shorted with the park light wire. I have no way to verify this now as my car is parked quite far from where I am right now. Maybe others in this thread can confirm.

If not, then it doesn't really matter....

sensha umzzz sa late reply. yup, tama lahat ng nakapost sa taas^. good luck sa paggiging isang electrician. yup, tga-batangas ako, bakit mo natanong?

ok lang walang problema...heheheh, kapag natapos ko itong pagkakabit ng park lights ay isa na akong bihasang electrician ...taga lemery (bagong sikat) nanay ko pero nakatira ngayon yung mga relatibs ko sa taal, sa sta monique ba yun, kalimutan ko na eh.

nice. OT na tayo. hehe. tga-batangas city ako pre. ganda jan sa lemery. daming bitch... or beach, anu nga ishfeling nun? invite mo kame jan sa summer.

Make sure that you connect the low-intensity filament to the park light wires and the high-intensity filament to the signal light wire. Mas malakas dapat ang signal light kesa park light. Kung baliktad baka matunaw ang signal lights mo.

Very good info here. Naka-double contact na rin dati Lancer ko. Nag-short yung right side kaya binalik ko muna sa single contact. Will try to double-contact it again when I have the time.

[CVT]

Thanks SeminaristaKuno for the 'confirmation'. Sabi ko na nga ba! It was 10 years ago since I did it.

You're definitely God-send!

[umzzzzz]

mcbry: yes sir, meron na po.
CVT: ok i'll keep that in mind...
Seminiaristakuno: correct me if i'm wrong sir, yung high intensity filament ba yung mas maiksi at yung low intensity filament ba e yung mahaba o vice versa? pero it doesn't matter na siguro, makikita naman sa lakas ng ilaw no? baliktarin ko na lang kung mali man ang pagkakakabit.

[JohnM]

Di rin ako sure kung alin ang high at low hehe. Mapapansin mo rin naman :D

[the_wildthing]

May tanong ako: if you tap the park light wire, hindi ba maiiba ang resistance to the point na hindi kaya ng kuryente, either the fuse blows or the wires get too hot?

[izzy]

wildthing: hindi naman siguro kasi negligible load lang naman yung signal light bulb e... i've had my EG's signal lights converted to double contact, pati cheek lights pa, for a year now and wala namang problem whatsoever...
