💡 What Are Fog Lights?

Fog lights are mounted low on the front bumper and angled downward to cast a wide, short beam that illuminates the road surface directly in front of your car. This helps reduce glare and reflection from fog or precipitation, which can bounce light back into your eyes when using regular headlights.

There are also rear fog lights, which are bright red lights that alert drivers behind you to your presence in poor visibility conditions.

🛠️ How They Work

Unlike standard headlights that project light far ahead, fog lights:

• Emit a bar-shaped beam close to the ground
• Help you see lane markings, curbs, and obstacles
• Minimize light bouncing off fog particles
• Improve visibility for other drivers, especially from behind

🚦 When Should You Use Fog Lights?

Use fog lights only when visibility drops below 100–150 meters—roughly the length of a football pitch. That includes:

• Dense fog
• Heavy rain
• Snowstorms
• Dust or sandstorms

⚠️ Don’t use fog lights in clear weather—they’re too bright and can dazzle other drivers.

🚗 Are Fog Lights Required?
