Is it necessary to install front fog lights?
1 Answers
They can be installed, but during installation, ensure the wiring is as concealed as possible and prevent incorrect wiring that could cause battery self-discharge. Installing front fog lights does not affect annual vehicle inspections because cars are designed with provisions for front fog light installation, making it a legal modification. Below are relevant details: 1. Installation requirements: Many vehicles are purchased without fog lights, necessitating their installation. In severe weather conditions, fog lights play a crucial role. National regulations mandate that motor vehicles must be equipped with fog lights that comply with national standards; vehicles without properly installed rear fog lights are prohibited from entering highways. 2. Standards: According to the national standard GB-4785-2007 'Installation Requirements for Lighting and Light-Signaling Devices of Motor Vehicles and Trailers,' front fog lights are 'lamps used to improve road illumination in fog, snow, rain, or dusty conditions.' However, their installation is not compulsory, and no mandatory regulations for front fog lights are found in other related standards. Therefore, vehicles without front fog lights are not considered defective; otherwise, they would not have been approved for market release.
