Do you really not know about fog lights?

Fog lights, as the name suggests, are lighting groups used in foggy days.

What do fog lights look like? When to use it?

As a fog lamp that is not commonly used, its appearance is inconspicuous. Most of the front fog lamps are equipped under the bumper, which makes it easier for the light to diffuse and illuminate the road ahead, while the rear fog lamps are mostly located at the innermost position of the rear headlights. , and in order to prevent the driver behind the car from thinking it is a brake light, many will only be equipped with a single-sided rear fog light.

Later, xenon headlights were used, but the penetrating power of xenon headlights is not as strong as halogen lights, so for safety reasons, many models are still equipped with halogen lights. source of fog lights.

But the problem is that many domestic driving schools purchase low-end cars. In order to save costs, they omit the option of fog lamps. Moreover, there is no mandatory requirement to equip fog lamps in national regulations, and the driving school examination does not test the use of fog lamps.
