    guys tama ba yung ginawa ko sa rear foglight?

    OK > umiilaw siya pagtinapakan ko yung break (off parklight / headlight) daylight


    ERROR > umiilaw siya habang naka on yung parklight / headlight
    pero namamatay siya kapag tinapakan ko yung brakes, diba dapat mag ddim lang rin siya

    Rear fog light normally have a different on/off switch to turn it on. If it is dual filament type, the hi-wattage side should be
    driven by the brake light circuit. How to do that? You may need some relay/contactor for proper operation.

    Please be clear with what you want. Are you planning to put a 3rd (or 4th) brake light or a rear fog light? They serve totally different functions.

    The rear foglights should have its own switch, HOWEVER, they can only be turned on when the parklights and/or headlights are also on.

    In other words, even if the dedicated rear foglight switch is turned on, turning off the parklights should also kill the rear foglights.

    A note about its proper use:

    By nature of its purpose, rear foglights are relatively bright to allow it to penetrate fog and/or heavy rain. Turning it on in clear weather or light rain is actually illegal in other countries as it produces glare to the cars behind you.

    Use it sparingly and only when the condition asks for it.

    Your concept of tapping it sa rear parklight wire is wrong. Instead tap it sa plate number lights, pero dapat ay relay switch ang nakatap, then you run another wire directly from the battery positive to the relay and from the relay to the rear fog. This way, the relay will be the "switch" being triggered by the plate number light (which also lights up pagnaka on ang parklight) and the power that powers up the bulb ng foglight is directly from the battery and not sharing the power needs of the platenumber lights.

    Kaya nag-ooff ang rear mo kasi the wiring of the two filment bulb brake and parklight combo turns off the parklight pag nag brake ka. This is probably a new thing about wirings ng oto mo, kasi as far as i know hindi ganyan ang normal wiring ng typical parklight.
