What is the purpose of a fog light?

06-25,2025

The main purpose of a car fog light is to enhance signal safety in severe weather conditions with low visibility.

Functions of a fog light:

Improving visibility range: A fog light is designed to be wide and low. It can illuminate the road surface in front of the car, mitigate the problem of reflection of light by fog in foggy weather, and help drivers gain a clearer view of road surface and obstacles.

Reducing interference caused by glare: Compared to high beam headlights, a fog light uses wide yellow or white beams, which can effectively reduce glare in fog, avoid light bounces in fog, and create a clearer line of sight.

Increasing vehicle visibility: A fog light can also make it easier for drivers of other vehicles to see your car, thus improving driving safety in low visibility conditions.

Assisting driving: In environments with very low visibility, a fog light can help drivers determine road boundaries and conditions ahead more accurately.

DPA fog lights

DPA fog lights can solve the key problems of yellowing and light bowl burning-out.

Lamp shade: The lamp shade is made of PC material with high light transmittance subject to UV hardening treatment. It provides excellent resistance to oxidation, preventing any yellowing in the first 2 years of use.

Lamp shell: The lamp shell is made of high-grade ABS/PP material that features more consistent size and higher strength.

Light bowl: The DPA fog light bowl is made of PEI material characterized by good flame resistance, low smoke, and excellent chemical resistance and electric insulation. It is able to work for long in the temperature range between -160°C and 180°C.
