    Now that it's begun to rain, I'd like to create awareness on the proper use of rear fog lamps. Some simply don't have a clue what they are for and just feel the need to use them because they're there.

    Remember that fog lamps (front or rear) are to be used only when visibility is very poor or fog is present.

    Dusk, dawn, night-time driving, light to medium rain, etc. DOES NOT constitute 'very' poor visibility. If anything, using the rear fog lamps under these conditions makes it worse for drivers behind them as it adds undue light pollution and eyestrain.

    CORRECT usage:






    INCORRECT usage:

    Yung iba kasi, they opt to tap the RFL/rear courtesy lamp straight to the park light (i was guilty of this years ago). Best bet is to either have your own switch for it, or to tap it with your front fog light switch at the very least.

    And while we're at it... please refrain from using hazard lights when it's raining or foggy.

    I'd like to add that I find it really annoying when motorcycles change their rear brake light to a fog or headlight. I do not know why they have to do this except to annoy other motorists.

    sa wakas. may nagpost din. wanted to make the same thread sa autoeuropa sana. pero baka magulpi ako doon hehe

    madami kasing naka Euro theme na kailangan may rear fog. and they turn this ON all the time para makita nung iba na naka EuDM sila. what they do not understand is that ang sakit nito sa mata. parang naka high beam ka sa sakit sa mata.

    please use your rear fog responsibly. (buti wala akong ganyan )

    ginagawa ko sa ganun, nag high beam ako para alam nila feeling ng masakit sa mata na ilaw! hehe

    seriously, i try to flash them with my HL first. most often than not, they will just ignore you. :hammer:

    gawain ko rin to kaso pag may kasalubong na, kelangan ko rin mag dim. pero manhid nga sila parang yung mga nakakasalubong mong naka high beam. feeling euro kasi at ang isip nila e kung mas malakas/maliwanag, mas safe (parang mga sablay na HID lang) which is not necessarily true.

    I'm guilty on this pero hindi ko siya ginagamit during city driving. Sa SLEX and going down from Tagaytay ko lang siya ginagamit. BTW, LED na DIY lang yung RFL ko kaya di siya siguro ganun kasakit sa mata compared sa OEM.

    pero on the other hand, masarap ito gamitin sa mga drivers na naka buntot and naka high beam / sabog na HID



    question about front fog lights. since hindi naman sabog ang buga nito, is it ok to use it all the time?
