Rear Foglight Abuse

[oj88]

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 )

Yan ang kapatid ng naka EU plate lang (tinatanggal ang PH plate) kahit luma na yung oto at matagal nang may plate (late) number.

DAti may nakasunod ako na itlog Lancer with RFL on both LH and RH sides. Sakit!!!

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:

Sayang naman daw kasi yun feature kung hindi din magagamit

Pero Ako guilty din dito kasi pag sa hiway, C5 or may long drive papuntang probinsya gamit ko ito pag madaling araw na

Pero sa city na laging traffic, never did

Nakakainis nga yung ganito. Ideal lang to gamitin sa city kung talagang sobrang lakas ng ulan, instead of using hazard lights which is wrong anyway. Naninilaw ako ng ganito at talagang tinututukan ko, same with sabog HIDs on HLs.

Sayang nga naman raw kung di gagamitin. Eudm yo!

[retsuyaken]

Saka ko lang binubuksan ang RFL ko pag may nakababad na naka-high beam or HID na sabog sa likod ko. I use this on expressways especially sa two-way Startoll kapag kaunti or ako lang ang nasa daan. Kapag may nakita na akong nakabuntot sa akin, pinapatay ko na agad.

[crazy_boy]

Dapat pag less than 100m nalang visibility bago gamitin ang rear fog. Pag clear and weather, kahit highway/expressway pa yan, dapat hindi ginagamit. Same logic lang naman yan sa high beam. Hindi porket nasa expressway dapat naka high beam. Road courtesy nalang din.

Pero uso kasi sa atin mga naka euro setup. Hindi kumpleto ang setup without rear fog. May nabasa pa ako sa kabilang forum, naka on daw parati rear fog niya para makita siya nung mga nasa likod niya. Lahat ng tao pati moderators and admin nag agree pa sa kanya :hammer:

Member ka ba ng autoeuropa?

Way back in the 80's, nauso yang flashing strobe light. Once you step on the brakes, the strobe light flashes. Depends on where you put it. If I find a similar item today, I'll retrofit it sa likod ng mga kotse ko. Pansensyahan nalang sa mga mahilig mag-HI ng ilaw dyan.

Nagbabasa lang sir member ba kayo doon?

[lowslowbenz]

May mga kakilala lang. Loyal ako sa MBCP hehe.

Pero, our club does not condone the use of foglights on clear conditions ha.
