Fog lights are specialized vehicle lights designed to illuminate the road immediately in front of a car during foggy, rainy, or snowy conditions. Unlike standard headlights, which shine straight ahead, fog lights are positioned lower and emit a wide, flat beam of light. This design helps reduce the amount of light that reflects off the fog, rain, or snow, improving visibility for drivers.
Typically, fog lights are used in conjunction with headlights and are often found on cars, trucks, and SUVs. They can be activated separately from the main lights and are usually mounted in the front bumper. Proper use of fog lights can enhance safety during poor weather conditions.
