Fog lights generally refer to car fog lights, which are installed on the front and rear of the car. Because visibility is low in foggy weather, the driver's line of sight is limited. Lights can increase the running distance, especially yellow anti-fog lights, which have strong light penetration. They can improve the visibility of drivers and surrounding traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a distance.
In addition to the front high beam, low beam, headlights, small lights, the driving lights, brake lights at the back, and a set of anti-fog lights in an inconspicuous place behind the car. Vehicle rear fog lights refer to red signal lights with greater luminous intensity than tail lights that are installed at the rear of the vehicle in order to make it easier for other road traffic participants behind the vehicle to detect it in environments with low visibility such as fog, snow, rain or dust. .
It is installed on the front of the car slightly lower than the headlight and is used to illuminate the road when driving in rainy and foggy weather. Because visibility is low in foggy weather, the driver's line of sight is limited. Lights can increase the running distance, especially yellow anti-fog lights, which have strong light penetration. They can improve the visibility of drivers and surrounding traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other at a greater distance.

Reasons for reduced fog light brightness
There are several reasons for the decrease in brightness. The most common one is the accumulation of dirt on the diffused glass or reflector of the lamp. All that needs to be done at this time is to clean the dirt with a flannel or lens paper. Another reason is that the battery's charging capacity decreases and the power is insufficient, resulting in insufficient brightness. In this case, the battery needs to be replaced with a new one. Another possibility is that the circuit is aging or the wire is too thin, causing the resistance to increase and affecting the power supply. This situation not only affects the work of the light bulb, but may even cause the circuit to overheat and cause a fire.
