HELP: Rear Foglamp on a 2012 Vios

[Chikselog]

Doc may shop daw po ba yung friend ni sir abnoy? Gusto ko malaman kung magkano yung stalk eh.

[OTEP]

Sir, hindi ko pa natext. Nasa isang phone ko number. hehe. Hindi pa ko nag-inquire kasi DIY pa kami.

Update: I think it's bright enough. My problem is the lens and the interior of the dummy light are both smooth with no matrix or waffling that acts as a light diffuser. The matrix is the reason why light looks evenly spread on OEM taillights. On clear taillamps, the matrix is on the interior of the housing. Our plan is to use white 3M reflector tape (the one with hexagonal matrix) and stick in on the interior then place the LED sheet on top.

Current progress:

Doc Pwede pala to hehehe lagyan kaya ng palara ang paligid para may reflector

[OTEP]

Yep. Parang ganun po yung 3m reflector tape. Para siyang palara pero may matrix na printed. Sana lang gumana. Paging mikomac. Hehe. Sila madami nung tape na yun.

[Chikselog]

May ganun palang tape ang 3M. :bwahaha:

Feeling ko Mas liliwanag pa lalo yun. Or lagyan pa ulit ng isang set ng LED para dalawa na sila.

[OTEP]

Meron po. Yun ang gamit sa lower half ng aeromed ambulance units in green and white squares. =)

If anyone has other cost effective ideas, do chime in now while the lamp is still open. Hehe

Attend ka ng EB ng AEP or VCP kasama ni Jemson. Habang walang nakatingin, pitikin niyo agad yung mga OEM na rear courtesy lamp. j/k

Try mo yung kay Tsikeselog na isa pang LED strip or maybe ibang pattern ng LED strip along with some reflectorized tape.

[OTEP]

Square LED 'modules' (4LED's per module). We used six modules:




Haven't tried it at night. We will try it on the Vios tomorrow.

^ Mas maganda tignan yan, doc.

[OTEP]

Pwede na din considering it was made by a bunch of Banawe istambays. hehe.

[OTEP]

[crazy_boy]

doc, will it be bright enough at night?

[OTEP]

doc, will it be bright enough at night?

Haven't seen it in on the vehicle. But during bench testing at night, ok naman. Unless you are willing to fork the 3000 peso price difference vs the commercially available lamp. Hehe. And in the phot, the taillamps are already tured on so you will have a relative scale of the brightness of the bumper lamp. I'm not exactly the world's best photographer.

Matagal tagal pa ulit maiikot dito yung vios, iba ang area niya.

Ganito pala itsura ng OEM Rear Fog. For everybody's reference lang.

My pal emailed me an image of her Vios last night with our ghetto rear lamp illuminated.:

Not bad at all! Ok naman pagkareseal nila? AFAIK wala dapat heat issues with LED compared to 35w or 55w H3 commonly used dyan.

Mali ata. H3 is used for front fog lamps. Not rears. If h3 bulbs were to be used for rear fogs, bulag nasa likod and I'm sure there will be heat issues.

I stand corrected Single contact lang pala usually like yung gamit ng signal lights

Hi doc, how much was it ? :D

Maybe you would you like to give me a hand when my unit comes out... :lol:
