What is the function of front fog lights on a car?
1 Answers
Front fog lights are high-intensity scattered light sources designed to penetrate thick fog and alert drivers in the opposite direction. Despite continuous innovations in automotive headlight technology, fog lights still use halogen light sources. This is because halogen lights have a low color temperature and strong penetration, making them essential for use in foggy conditions. Additional information: 1. Front fog lights are installed slightly lower than the headlights at the front of the car to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. In foggy conditions, visibility is low, and the driver's line of sight is limited. These lights increase the visibility distance, enhancing the visibility for both the driver and other road users, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. 2. The purpose of fog lights is not to help you see others but to make you more visible to others, similar to the principle of daytime running lights. Fog lights serve as warning signals rather than illumination lights.
