Which One is the Fog Light on a Car?
2 Answers
Fog lights are generally located below the car's headlights, and the fog light button is on the left side of the steering wheel, above the headlight switch on the body panel. Here are the details: 1. Car fog lights can increase the running distance and improve the visibility of the driver and surrounding traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a farther distance. 2. Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are usually bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. 3. The symbol for the rear fog light is slightly different from that of the front fog light. The front fog light symbol has downward light lines, while the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines, generally located on the dashboard inside the car.
After years of driving, I've summarized the method to identify fog lights: they are usually a separate button or knob on the dashboard or near the steering wheel, with an icon resembling a light with downward wavy lines (indicating fog), used to enhance illumination in rain, fog, or snow. Front fog lights are positioned low to avoid light reflection by fog; rear fog lights are on the rear bumper, with high brightness to alert vehicles behind. Use them only when visibility is poor, and avoid misuse that could affect others' safety. For example, when driving in the rain, I press the switch, and the strong light penetration immediately clears my vision; if you can't find it, check the owner's manual. During regular maintenance, check if the bulbs are intact to avoid malfunctions and ensure a worry-free drive. Remember, fog lights are not for daily use but are emergency tools.
