Under the steering wheel, the fourth one (marked with the number 4). Below is relevant information about fog lights: 1. Introduction: Installed at the front of the car, slightly lower than the headlights, they 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. The lights can increase the running distance, especially the strong light penetration of yellow anti-fog lights, which can improve the visibility of the driver and surrounding traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a distance. 2. Classification: Anti-fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are generally bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbol for the rear fog light differs slightly from that of the front fog light; the front fog light symbol has downward light lines, whereas the rear fog light's are parallel, usually located on the dashboard inside the car. Since anti-fog lights are bright and highly penetrating, they do not cause diffuse reflection due to fog, so proper use can effectively prevent accidents.

I often help friends check the fog light fuse issue in their cars. Generally, it's located in the vehicle's fuse box. The fuse box in most cars is situated either on the side of the engine compartment or under the dashboard in the cabin near the foot pedals. The exact location really varies by car—for example, in Hyundai models, it might be under the hood, while in older models, it could be near the door. So, the safest approach is to check the owner's manual, which has clear diagrams. A blown fog light fuse is quite common, possibly caused by circuit overload or a short circuit, especially when used in damp weather. Before replacing it, remember to turn off the engine, use professional tools to remove the faulty fuse, and replace it with a matching new one—avoid handling it with bare hands to prevent electric shock. I recommend checking it regularly to avoid issues during night driving; developing this habit can save trouble and enhance safety.

Last time I drove to the mountains for a trip in heavy fog, suddenly my fog lights stopped working. After an emergency check, it turned out to be a blown fuse. In my experience, the fog light fuse is usually hidden in a small box, mostly within the fuse cluster in the engine compartment or near the footwell in the cabin. I directly referred to the manual to find the exact location, and it took me about ten minutes to fix it that time. Fuses often blow due to aging wiring or overload, and buying a new fuse only costs a few bucks. Now, every six months, I casually check the condition of the fuses in the box to ensure the labels are clear and not mixed up. Fog lights are crucial for driving safety, especially in bad weather. Prevention is always better than getting stranded halfway.

When I first started learning to drive, I noticed an issue with the fog lights and was curious about where the fuse was. A friend told me it's usually in the fuse box, which might be located in the front compartment or some corner inside the car. I checked the owner's manual and indeed found the labeled location—it was quite straightforward. I recommend beginners read the manual first instead of guessing blindly; most cars have diagrams inside the box to help identify which fuse is for the fog lights. When handling it, turn off the engine and use tools to pull or insert the fuse to avoid mistakes. Knowing the location saves trouble, ensuring you can use the lights in time during foggy conditions to stay safe.
