HELP: Rear Foglamp on a 2012 Vios

[OTEP]

Ok. I got the oem lens na. Lens po siya, hindi reflector. Pero shallow and baka matunaw with a full size bulb. We might try leds instead. Will post pics later.

Sa Eurovision nung MIAS and TSS P3500 ang OEM rear fogs ng Vios. Di ko lang alam kung naka promo sila tuwing car shows pero mura na raw yung P3500.

I believe may ganito rin si sir Noy from AEP. Target ko rin ito in the future.

OEM Stalk Switch with Front and Rear Fog light switch.

Just in case gusto magpalit ng stalk ng friend mo, Doc hehe.

[OTEP]

Medyo mahal pa din daw para sa owner and ayaw niya palitan yung stalk since the car is only days old. So we'll try to have a bit of inexpensive fun muna. hehe.

Jemson removed the dummy rear lamp. Here it is:




Our evil plan is to crack it open with a heat gun (the lens is screwed and glued on to the gray backing with a hollow space inside). And probably add a bright LED flat sheet (or two) like so:


Then leave it running for hours on end to see if it's bright enough at night and if we have no lens melting issues. Keeping my fingers crossed muna. Inputs appreciated.

Update us doc pag tapos na hehe with pics sana.

May nagbebenta naman sa VCP nyan mismo for 1k (kinda expensive IMO pero pwede naman tawaran ata, used na eh).

Doc sensya di ko na-scout number ni Abnoy..

Pero paki-update nga ang thread. Kasi si Chikselog may balak din yan, eh... Hahaha.

thanks otep for the update. May nakasabay ako na taxi kagabi. May ilaw pareho yung rear lamp nia sa bumper medyo mahina nga sia compared dun sa ilaw ng taillight. Sana mas bright ang output niang led. We will be waiting for the outcome of your project

[Chikselog]

Btw, 21W yung bulb ng OEM rear fogs.

Di pa ako nakakakita in actual ng LED rear fogs pero judging from some pics feeling ko mas maliwanag pa rin yung OEM.

@renzo
Tangeks ko nga eh bat di ko naisipang sa SG lahat bilhin ng gusto kong mod.

[OTEP]

Maging mas maliwanag lang sa park lamp or kasing liwanag lang ng brake lamp ok na sana. Still toying with the idea.

Roy opens it up:


Lens transparency:


Jemson's hand (and maybe we need two LED sheets?). I think having no reflective element inside the housing doesn't help also?:


Wiring:


Done for the day:


The car won't be available until next Saturday so we have a whole week to play around with the setup. I'm still waiting for it to get dark.

Nabigay ko kay Otep yung contact and he referred someone selling it. They'll try out this DIY project first.

[OTEP]

Yep no problems. I have the phone number and nomal sounding name of abnoys friend, hehe
