More and more new cars, if they don’t learn the lesson, have reduced fog lamps when they are produced. This is because national regulations stipulate that all new cars must be equipped with at least one rear fog lamp as standard, so don’t talk about yours next time. The car has no fog lights. If there are no fog lights, most of them don’t have front fog lights. So why are the front fog lights reduced? Today Brother Miao will analyze the problem rationally for everyone.
It is estimated that friends who have bought new cars in the past two years have never seen or used front fog lamps, so they have basically no idea about this. The function of the rear fog lamp is to help others identify our vehicle, while the front fog lamp is to increase lighting in rainy and foggy weather. How useful are the front fog lamps? Anyway, just like my car, if it is equipped with this kind of halogen lamp, because the lighting conditions are not very good at night, if it encounters rainy or foggy weather, it will basically reflect back and you will not be able to see anything.
So I habitually turn on the front fog lights to fill in the light. Although its illumination distance is not far, I can clearly feel that the blind spots on both sides of the car are lit up instantly. That is to say, in rainy and foggy weather, when the illumination conditions of the headlights themselves are not very good, fog lamps can indeed increase the lighting conditions very well, and some fog lamps of cars can not only increase the lighting, but also reduce the fog when turning. The lights also come on simultaneously, which adds turn signals.
But now more and more cars omit the front fog lamp. Not only do family cars with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands omit it, but even BMWs with hundreds of thousands of dollars do not have fog lamps. , and some current new energy vehicles and new power brands don’t even know what front fog lights are. Could it be that they used better lights, this fog light would be meaningless.
In fact, friends who have bought cars in the past few years will find that although many cars have upgraded lighting and use LED or laser headlights, their lights are white. When there is no rain or fog, the lights are particularly bright. It is bright and illuminates very clearly. Once it encounters rain or fog, the light will be reflected back and the light will be completely white. Unlike this yellow one, although it doesn't look so stunning or bright after being illuminated, after it is reflected back, the penetrating power is still relatively strong.
So in this case, if you encounter rain and fog, this brighter and whiter light is not as good as a candle light. Therefore, the current practice of canceling the front fog lights is not particularly good for the light itself, and it is still relatively low. I personally strongly disapprove of the high-end LED lights. This is completely a cost-saving approach.
If you often drive in the south, especially in mountainous areas, it will really affect driving safety. If the lighting of the car is not very good, then it is very important to have fog lights. Without fog lights, you will basically be blind when walking on the mountain road at night. Anyway, my family is in the southern mountainous area, and I go back every year during the New Year and festivals, especially tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival. During that time, it was especially easy to experience.
For those with high prices and relatively rich lighting equipment, the lighting effect itself is very good, and the coverage is also very wide, and the illumination is relatively far, so the cancellation of its fog lights will not have such a big impact on car use. Regarding the cancellation of fog lights by manufacturers, another thing is that after the fog lights are cancelled, the bumper will no longer need to be structurally related to the bumper, so the entire bumper is just a single plastic plate.
Especially for current new energy vehicles, when there is no need for an air intake grille on the front, the fog lights are cancelled, and then the entire bumper is made into a completely closed design, which looks beautiful and integrated. It can also save costs. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to manufacturers?
Since laws and regulations do not mandate the installation of front fog lights, it can make the car look good, save costs, and not violate relevant laws and regulations, so why not do it. And even if this aspect is omitted, fog lights may currently make no difference to most drivers whether they are present or not, because the ability to use rear fog lights correctly is basically minimal, let alone front fog lights.
Since most drivers don't know how to use it, manufacturers can save costs, which is a good idea for manufacturers. After a few years, everyone stopped mentioning this matter, and gradually forgot about it. They forgot that there was no such thing as front fog lights, and there were only rear fog lights. There are no roads in the world, but when there are more people walking, they become roads. There are fog lights in the world, but no one drives them, and gradually there are no more fog lights. This is actually the truth.
