How to Turn On the Front Fog Lights of a Car?

How to turn on the car fog lights: The switch is located below the air vent on the driver's side. The middle knob controls the parking lights and low beams, while the two buttons on the left, arranged vertically, are for the front and rear fog lights—simply press them to activate. The right side features controls for the interior light and instrument panel brightness adjustment. The purpose of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to others in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog or heavy rain. Therefore, fog lights require a light source with strong penetration. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while LED fog lights are a more advanced option. Fog lights must be installed below the bumper, as close to the ground as possible, to ensure their effectiveness. If mounted too high, the light cannot penetrate the fog or rain to illuminate the road (since fog is usually thinner below 1 meter), which can lead to hazardous situations. Typically, the fog light switch has three positions: position 0 is off, position 1 controls the front fog lights, and position 2 controls the rear fog lights. When set to position 1, only the front fog lights are active; in position 2, both front and rear fog lights operate together. Therefore, when using fog lights, it is advisable to know which position the switch is in, ensuring both convenience for yourself and safety for others on the road.
