Fog lights are a type of auxiliary light that is installed on the front of a vehicle. Fog lights help to improve visibility during periods of poor weather, such as fog, rain, or snow. When used correctly, fog lights can help to prevent accidents by making it easier for drivers to see the road ahead. However, it is important to note that fog lights should only be used when necessary, as they can create glare and cause distraction for other drivers. When driving in foggy conditions, be sure to turn on your fog lights and keep them on until the fog clears. Remember to turn them off once you can see clearly again, as they can cause glare for oncoming traffic.
