since i had these bumper covers on Blackie Dos, already entertained the possibility of another set of foglamps.. bought these bumper covers w/ the matching foglamp covers from sir marfin several months back.. now, time for DIY..
kahit for the past 2 days e toxic ang duty dito sa hospital. finally started out my DIY..
here is what i started out so far..
repainted them again w/ flat black acrylic paint (iwas gloss, regain back original color and texture); again dahil napinturahan ko ito ng chrome paint before. kaya lang diko nagustuhan ang labas, more of silver at hindi chrome.
prior to painting, nagawa ko na pala butasan yung center area gamit yung same drill bit na pinambutas sa rear bumper for the parking sensor.
pinagdikitan ng yellow reflective sticker, using mild soapwater solution technique (provided more chances of readjusting the sticker to desire position). original plan initially: chrome sticker sana courtesy of TBR Concepts dito sa Davao, kaya lang erratic kasi visits to Davao, kaya settled for yellow reflective sticker instead. and since yellow, i think na baka mas makaprovide ito ng ample lights especially pag ulan than white light.

itong leds for fogz na nabili from Norman, would then go to the holes provided..
et nga pala yung reflection ng stickers sa flash ng phonecam.. parang okay naman yung nirereflect na ilaw diba? ano na kaya pag LED na ang nandyan?
putting this on hold, 'cause next steps would need some other people/parts...
1. had to have a precut, transparent plastic to cover up this middle area. kukuha ako dun sa gumagawa ng plastic signs.
2. to partially affix the transparent plastic w/ cyano-acrylic glue, then seal the edges with silicon sealant.
3. to affix the foglamp to a 2-switch circuit sa sasakyan; 1st pushbutton switch to turn on the lamps and 2nd, dimmer switch to control the light intensity of LED's.. the only missing part so far: dimmer switch.

good news! nakakita narin ako seller ng dimmer switch. it is a used gauge dimmer switch, also oem tyt.. and i get to choose from 2 types:
rotary... (mas mura pero mahirap magbutas ng exact fit na bilog)
or itong roll-up/down switch.. (mas mahal)... i think i will choose this one. kasi di gaano malaki yung part ng switch na itatago sa panels, at mas madali siguro mag-cut-out ng rectangles sa panel. sana nga't makahanap rin ako nitong door lock switch para naman sa door lock DIY..

sa pagpapatuloy nitong ating kabanata...
eto ng mga nagawa ko nung isang ataw..
may nabili ako na retaso ng transparent plastic dito sa mga aluminium/glass fabricators sa Tagum, 3/16 ang kapal sa halagang P30!
iti-nrace ang gustong hugis dito. inisyal na plano, ipapaputol ito sa mga gumagawa ng plastic signs, pero wala ako nakita sa tagum. ayun DO-IT-MYSELF, nilagare gamit ng hacksaw.. okay naman.. ang pinutol/cutout na parte - napakaliit lang ng nakuha dun sa boung retaso.. may mga sobra pa.. (probably for next diy? hehehe!)
/eto na yung mga nilagareng parte. di pa nga lang transparent at di ko pa tinanggal yung suporta nitong papel.. ngayon kelangan na lang nito ng fine-tuning gamit ang liha............itutuloy...

almost done...
kahit busy sa hospital, still managed to get this done..
secured the transparent plastic over the center portion of the bumper cover w/ black sealant (amoy-suka).. may little strips of adhesive pala ito sa loob on 4 sides parra hindi mahulog yung plastic while letting the sealant harden.
partially fitted the fogledz over the hole provided... and voila! almost done..! next stop, installation na lang..!!!
