These lamps are designed to emit a wide, low beam of light. Unlike your regular headlights which shoot forward, fog lights spread the light out horizontally. They’re really about maximizing visibility in poor conditions – think dense fog, heavy rain, or even snow. They don’t throw a long beam because that just bounces off the moisture in the air. They're meant to illuminate the road directly in front of, and a little to the sides of, your vehicle. They mount low to the ground, usually in the bumper or valence. That low positioning is key, because it gets the light under the fog or rain. They work as a supplement to your headlights, not a replacement. They’re usually wired to switch on independently, so you can have them on without your high beams. You'll often see them on trucks and SUVs, but they’re becoming more common on cars too. They drastically improve visibility when conditions are bad. It’s not just about you seeing, it's about being seen. A bright, low – mounted light makes you much more visible to other drivers. You’ll notice if one is out, because your vision will feel noticeably limited in those conditions. It’s a safety thing, honestly. If you’re driving in areas prone to fog or inclement weather, having functioning fog lamps is a big help. You can find replacements pretty easily, even sites like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. Premium parts, premium warranty: Fog lamp (MPN 5.81229) has a 12-month guarantee!
