Where are the fog lights on the Civic?

The front fog lights of the Civic are located on the front face of the vehicle, close to the ground, while the rear fog light is on the left side of the tail light. Introduction to fog lights: When driving in adverse weather conditions such as fog, snow, and heavy rain, or in environments filled with smoke and dust, front fog lights are essential for illuminating the road ahead and ensuring driving safety. In recent years, in terms of styling design, fog lights are often installed on the front bumper. Principle of fog lights: The filament of the light source is designed at the focal point of the reflector's parabolic surface. After being reflected by the reflector, it forms a beam parallel to the optical axis. The diffuser lens spreads and refracts the beam to form a wider horizontal beam, ensuring that the light pattern and illumination meet regulatory requirements.
Speaking of the Civic's fog light placement, based on my experience, the front fog lights are typically embedded in the black plastic area at the bottom of the bumper, near the wheels. This design ensures the lights are closer to the ground during foggy conditions, illuminating the road lines and enhancing driving safety. If the fog lights aren't working, driving feels particularly uneasy—they can be lifesavers when navigating through heavy fog. The switch is usually a knob located below the steering wheel on the left side. Remember to only turn them on during foggy weather to avoid blinding others. As for the rear fog light, it's simpler—usually a small red light within the rear lamp cluster. Overall, the positioning is well-considered and part of Honda's safety approach.
