Fog light symbols include the rear fog light symbol and the front fog light symbol. Rear fog light symbol: There are three straight lines and one vertical bar on the right side of the semicircle. For lever-operated models, the fog lights are activated by rotating the switch on the lever. When the button marked with the fog light signal is turned to the ON position, the front fog lights are activated. Then, turning the button downward to the rear fog light position activates both front and rear fog lights simultaneously. Front fog light symbol: There are three downward-slanted lines and one vertical bar on the left side of the semicircle. For button-operated models, the front and rear fog lights are activated by pressing the respective buttons marked with fog light symbols located near the dashboard or center console. Types of car fog light switches: Rotary knob type and push-button type. Function of fog lights: To illuminate the road while driving and alert front and rear vehicles to maintain a safe distance.

I remember there are mainly two types of fog light symbols: the front fog light symbol looks like a headlight pointing to the left with a few curved wavy lines in front, representing light penetrating through the fog, while the rear fog light icon resembles a simple car tail outline with a wavy line or diagonal, usually in red, indicating strong light to alert vehicles behind. When I bought my first car, I didn't understand and thought it was a spare light symbol. It wasn't until I drove in foggy weather that I actually used it—pressing the switch and seeing the dashboard light up, I realized those wavy lines weren't just decoration. After driving for over a decade, I've noticed many beginners confuse fog lights with regular headlights. In fact, fog lights are specialized equipment for low-visibility weather, brighter and more focused than regular lights. European cars often use yellow icons, while Japanese cars prefer minimalist designs—the differences are minor, but the icon placements vary. Turning them on in fog significantly improves visibility and helps avoid rear-end collisions, so I regularly check if the switch icons are flexible and free from wear.

When I first got my driver's license, I loved tinkering with the light settings. The fog light symbols are usually on buttons near the center console or steering wheel. The front fog light icon shows a lamp facing left with wavy lines, while the rear one resembles a simplified car rear with waves. After driving several models, I noticed newer vehicles like EVs have more refined, animated icons, but the core design remains unchanged. I recommend getting familiar with these symbols on the dashboard—they automatically illuminate when activated by the fog light switch. They're incredibly useful in bad weather, reducing blind spots. Don't underestimate these symbols—misinterpreting them might lead to accidentally turning on fog lights and disturbing others' visibility, so checking the owner's manual for icon meanings is wise. Different brands have variations: Toyota uses square lamp outlines, while Volkswagen prefers circular ones, both with wavy lines for easy recognition.
