The fog light switch for the Bora is located on the light control lever, with separate controls for the front and rear fog lights. More details about fog lights are as follows: 1. Fog lights are divided into front and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. 2. The symbols for rear fog lights are slightly different from those for front fog lights. The front fog light symbol has downward-pointing light lines, whereas the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines, usually located on the dashboard inside the car. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not produce diffuse reflection caused by fog, and proper use can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, front and rear fog lights are usually used together.

I recently drove my Volkswagen Bora in foggy weather and would like to share my firsthand experience with using fog lights. Before turning on the fog lights, you need to start the vehicle first, then locate the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel or the rotary knob on the dashboard—usually, you turn it one click to select the low beam position. Next, you can push the control stalk upward or downward to activate the front fog lights or rear fog lights; in the Bora, the front fog lights are indicated by the 'L' symbol, while the rear fog lights are marked with 'R'—remember to check the dashboard icon to confirm if they are illuminated. It's best not to use fog lights in clear weather, as the intense light can dazzle other drivers and increase risks. If you have time, inspect whether the bulbs are functioning properly, since fog light bulbs are prone to aging—regular maintenance can prevent sudden failures.

Turning on the fog lights in a Bora is quite straightforward. Based on my years of experience driving Volkswagens, here's a simple procedure. First, start the engine and rotate the light control stalk beside the steering wheel—it usually has a knob. Set it to the low beam mode first. Then push the stalk upward or pull it downward: the front fog lights are marked with a forward-pointing fog-shaped arrow, while the rear fog light has a rectangular icon. Once activated, the dashboard will display the corresponding symbols. Using fog lights in foggy conditions significantly improves visibility, but avoid turning them on unnecessarily in clear weather—not only does it waste energy, but you might also get fined. If the control stalk feels unresponsive, check for wiring connection issues.

The steps to turn on the fog lights on the Bora are simple: After starting the car, adjust the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel or the instrument knob to set the lights. Select the low beam state, then operate the lever to activate the fog lights; the front and rear fog lights are clearly distinguished, and the dashboard will indicate when they are on. Use them only in low visibility conditions to avoid affecting others.
