Improve Your Visibility With LED Fog Lights
by Anthony Williams on April 29, 2020
The main function of your car’s lights are to help you see better and also help other drivers see you. Oftentimes, inclement weather conditions can make it difficult to see the road, greatly increasing the odds of accidents. If you want to increase your nighttime visibility, a pair of LED Fog Lights can make a huge difference. These powerful lights can help ensure that glare from fog, rain, and snow will not interfere with your driving as much.
Typically, your headlights shine straight ahead to maximize your view of the road. Fog lights, on the other hand, create a narrow beam pattern that is directed downward to illuminate the road right in front of your vehicle.While fog lights aren’t used all of the time, they can be very helpful when you are driving through fog or other hazardous weather.
This is because fog is basically just a low hanging cloud composed of countless tiny water droplets suspended in the air. Water is highly reflective and every droplet in the fog has the ability to reflect light back towards its source. So when you shine your headlights into fog, you can get a massive amount of glare shining back to you. By shining the light downward instead, the output from your fog lights shines more on the road and less into the fog. The narrow beam pattern of your fog lights will allow you to see just enough of the road without shining into the fog to produce a blinding glare. Many fog lights are also available in a yellow color, which is said to be easier on the eyes and helps increase the contrast between objects, especially in snowy conditions.
Some vehicles also use fog lights as daytime running lights, which can cause OEM halogen bulbs to burn out even quicker. Instead of having to replace burnt out fog lights every time they go out, upgrading to a set of LED fog light bulbs will give you the same lifespan as 40 sets of halogen fog light bulbs.
