Fog lights are installed at the front and rear of the car, slightly lower than headlights. The fog lights installed at the front of the car are called front fog lights, and the fog lights installed at the rear of the car are called rear fog lights. The light color of fog lamp is yellow or orange, because these two lights have long wavelength and good penetration performance. When used in bad weather conditions such as fog, snow, rainstorm or sandstorm, it can effectively improve the road lighting and indicate the position of vehicles. The power of fog lamps is generally 45-55W.
Licence plate light
