In addition to low beam lights, the most commonly used headlights on cars are fog lights. In foggy weather, we must turn on the fog lights because visibility is very low. But many novice drivers don’t even know where the switch is because they have never used fog lights. I still don’t know much about how to use fog lights correctly and the function of fog lights. Today I will explain to you the knowledge about fog lights so that everyone can use fog lights correctly and rationally.
Fog lights are generally installed on cars. In some extreme weather conditions, their penetrating power is very strong. Car fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Many drivers think that front fog lights and rear fog lights are the same and there is not much difference. In fact, there are big differences between front fog lights and rear fog lights. First of all, the colors of the front and rear fog lights are different. Although we see that the colors of the front and rear fog lights are similar, the color of the front fog lights is yellow, while the color of the rear fog lights is red.
So why are the colors of the front and rear fog lights designed to be different? This is because the car's front fog lights act as auxiliary lighting. Yellow means that they are very penetrating in heavy fog and can help you see the road ahead clearly. The color of the rear fog lights is designed to be red because red has the strongest penetration and can serve as a warning in heavy fog, so that vehicles behind you will notice you. Therefore, for driving safety, rear fog lights are mandatory, and car owners must install one or two rear fog lights.
Car fog lights are roughly divided into three types, one is the knob type, one is the button type, and the other is the lever type. Knob-type and button-type fog lamps are relatively simple to operate, while lever-type fog lamps require you to turn the knob in the middle of the lever and then choose to turn on the front fog lamp or the rear fog lamp.
Car fog lights have many functions. First of all, in foggy weather, because fog lights have very strong penetrating power, we can let other vehicles see our car by turning on the fog lights. The visual visibility of car headlights is generally about 50 meters, while the visual visibility of fog lights is twice that of car headlights. If the fog is serious, we can also use it with double flash, so that other vehicles can spot us more clearly. Secondly, we can also use fog lights in heavy rainy weather with low visibility, which can help us see the road ahead more clearly.
Although fog lights have many functions, we must pay attention to the following points when using fog lights. First of all, we must not turn on the high beam when turning on the fog lights. In order to see the road ahead more clearly, some drivers will turn on the high beam while turning on the fog lights. Although the penetrating power of the high beam is very Strong, but in foggy weather, nothing can be seen due to reflection. Secondly, we must not use fog lights when there is no heavy fog, because the intensity of the light will dazzle the opposite driver and make him unable to see the road clearly, which is very dangerous.
Fog lights play a very important role. We must take good care of them and turn on fog lights under appropriate circumstances. Do not turn on fog lights at will.
