What Does a Fog Light Look Like?
1 Answers
In addition to the front high beams, low beams, headlights, and parking lights, as well as the rear running lights and brake lights, there is also a set of fog lights located in an inconspicuous area at the rear of the vehicle. Rear fog lights are red signal lights installed at the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for other road traffic participants to spot the vehicle in low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or dust. These lights emit a stronger light intensity than the tail lights. For more details, please see below: 1. Location of fog lights: They are installed at the front of the vehicle, slightly lower than the headlights, and are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. Fog lights can increase visibility distance, especially yellow fog lights, which have strong light penetration and improve visibility for both the driver and other traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. 2. Types of fog lights: There are front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbols for rear fog lights differ slightly from those for front fog lights—the lines of the front fog light symbol point downward, whereas the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines. These symbols are usually located on the vehicle's dashboard.
