Fog lights, literally speaking, are lights that are turned on in foggy days.
1. Why install fog lights?
1. Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather phenomena in nature, such as heavy rain, heavy fog, sandstorms, heavy snow, etc., drivers will have poor visibility and be prone to accidents. Headlights are generally halogen lamps or LED (xenon lamps), and their light is easily reflected in extreme weather. Especially for traffic lights, once encountering heavy fog, it will be completely white, making it difficult to see the road. .
2. Fog lights are designed to solve this problem. Car fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. The front fog lamps are installed according to the manufacturer's design and use yellow lights. Because yellow light has strong penetrating power and can penetrate heavy fog, and the light is dispersed and the distance is short, drivers can see the road clearly and ensure safe driving.
3. The rear fog lamp must be installed, and it is installed on the left rear. The light is red. The penetrating power of red light is also very strong. When the rear fog lights are turned on, vehicles behind are fully visible. Especially when the visibility is less than 100 meters, turning on the rear fog lights will help you better judge the safe distance from the vehicle in front and drive safely.
4. Unless there are special circumstances, do not turn on the rear fog lights. Because the red light will affect the vision of the driver behind you for a long time.
2. How to use fog lights?
1. There are many types of fog light switches, including those with handles and twists and those with separate twists. The switch is easy to recognize and has the front and rear fog light logos.
The front and rear fog lights are not turned on at the same time. If you need to turn on fog lights and the visibility is not too low, you can turn on the front fog lights.
If the visibility is less than 100 meters, the front and rear fog lights should be turned on at this time. To remind the following vehicles to pay attention. The vehicle behind can determine its position through the fog lights of the front vehicle.
Even if the car behind wants to overtake, it can still be judged by the position of the rear fog lights of the car behind it.
2. Before turning on the fog lights, you must first turn on the corridor lights, low beam lights, and then turn on the front fog lights.
3. Turn on the rear fog lights reasonably according to the visibility. At this time, the front and rear fog lights will light up at the same time, and the corridor lights will also light up, which is enough to alert the opposite direction or the vehicle behind you.
But it is best not to turn on the high beam at this time. Because the high beam is prone to refraction, the front of the vehicle will be blurred and the road surface cannot be seen clearly.
4. Double flashing lights are emergency lights and cannot replace fog lights. Although it is also a yellow light, its light is weak and can only be used as a reminder or to tell the vehicle behind you where your vehicle is.
Only by using fog lights rationally can you drive safely in extreme environments.
