The proper use of car fog lights

1. What are the differences between fog lamps and low beams?

Why can not the fog lamp be used as a daily lighting? Fog lights and low beams have differences between the angle of exposure, brightness, light penetration and so on. In these areas, the fog lights are stronger than the low light. The role of the dipped headlight is to illuminate the range of a certain distance in front of the car, the irradiation angle is lower than the horizontal line, and the lamp power is not large, therefore it will not interfere with other vehicle drivers.

However, in the fog days, it is necessary to rely on fog lights to make up for the low light that can not penetrate the heavy rain and fog. Therefore, the fog lamp can only be used as an emergency lighting tool under bad weather conditions and can not be used as a daily lighting. More, because the brightness of the fog lamp is much higher than ordinary lights, the degree of glaring is more serious. If the driver's eyes are illuminated by fog lights for a long time, it is easy to feel uncomfortable and dizzy.

Reminder: the load resistor harness for the H11 connector can be used to correct the light error for both fog light and headlight.

2. Under what circumstances you need to turn on your fog lights?

If the vehicle opened the fog lights, especially the rear fog lights, in the normal environment, the fog light will become very dazzling. Dazzling fog lights will interfere with other drivers' eyes and even hurt their sight, and then lead to a car accident. Therefore, many countries traffic regulations are clearly stipulated: to prohibit the vehicle in the case of good visibility to open the fog lights. Also, many countries have the rule that in the rain and fog days when the visibility is less than 200 meters, the vehicle driver should turn on the fog lights.

So the conclusion is although you can’t use the fog light as the daily everyday lightning, you should keep maintaining your fog light, keep checking the fog light wiring harness as a normal working fog light is very important for drive safety under extreme weather conditions and poor visibility conditions. If you are also a motorcycle lover and you want to know more about the motorcycle fog lights, please keep following our blog, we will keep updating all kinds of practical information about auto and motorcycle.
