When driving in heavy rain, you should turn on the width marker lights, headlights, fog lights, and other vehicle lights. Fog Lights: Fog lights are installed near the headlights or slightly lower than the headlights. In conditions of low visibility such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or dust, fog lights serve to illuminate the road and provide signals to oncoming vehicles. The light is mostly yellow. Yellow light has a longer wavelength and good fog-penetrating properties. The bulb power is generally 35W. Width Marker Lights: Width marker lights on a car are the front and rear position lights. The clearance lights and width marker lights are quite similar. The position of the width marker lights varies depending on the vehicle model. On small cars, the width marker lights are commonly referred to as small lights. On larger vehicles, due to their size, the front and rear side lights are called width marker lights. On trucks, the width marker lights are commonly known as side lights.
