Highlander fog light switch is located on the lever to the left of the steering wheel. Turn the lever to turn the fog lights on or off. The purpose of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to other vehicles in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog or heavy rain. Therefore, fog light sources need to have strong penetration. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while LED fog lights are a more advanced option. Below is a classification of automotive lights: 1. Headlights, combined headlights are located at the front of the vehicle, mainly serving the purpose of illumination and signaling. The light emitted by headlights 2. Combined taillights, combined taillights are located at the rear of the vehicle, mainly serving the purpose of illumination and signaling. 3. Turn signals, used to indicate left or right turns to other road users. Regulations require them to be amber in color. 4. License plate lights, mainly used to illuminate the license plate, allowing people to identify the vehicle's license plate in the dark.

After years of driving, I find the Highlander's fog light activation quite intuitive. First, start the vehicle and wait for the dashboard to illuminate. Locate the light control stalk on the lower left side of the steering wheel—usually the rotary type—and turn it to the headlight position, such as the low beam setting. Then gently pull the end portion of the stalk to activate the fog lights, at which point a small light icon on the dashboard will indicate they're on. Remember, fog lights are designed for rainy, foggy, or low-visibility conditions, with a wide, low beam pattern to prevent glare from water vapor reflection. I often use them on highways during foggy weather for safer illumination, but avoid using them in normal conditions to prevent disturbing other drivers. Always remember to manually turn them off after use to prevent battery drain if the vehicle is powered down. These small details make driving more reassuring.

As a beginner, I also figured out how to turn on the Highlander's fog lights. After starting the car, look for the light lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Rotate it to the headlight mode, then gently pull or press the small switch on the lever to activate the fog lights. A green indicator on the dashboard will show that the fog lights are working properly. I've tried it a few times in humid weather, and the fog lights really improve visibility, especially in morning fog or rain. New drivers should be careful not to confuse the front and rear fog light switches—check the owner's manual or the central control interface first to avoid mistakes. It's best to turn them off after use to save battery, and with a bit of practice, it becomes second nature.

When commuting with the Highlander, turning on the fog lights is straightforward. After starting the engine, locate the light lever below the left side of the steering wheel, rotate it to turn on the headlights, then gently pull or press the fog light button. An icon on the dashboard will illuminate, indicating the fog lights are on. I prefer using them in rainy or foggy conditions to enhance ground illumination, but avoid using them in clear weather as it can impair others' visibility. After operation, check if the lights are actually on to ensure effectiveness.
