In this video, we will go through how fog lights work, when to use fog lights (and when not to), as well as how to use your fog lights. Is it worth installing fog lights for your vehicle?

Generally, you should use fog lights in a variety of low visibility settings such as fog, heavy rain, and dust storms. In these situations, using high beam headlights is often not recommended as the light may be reflected back on to you.

There are both front fog lights and rear fog lights, but rear fog lights are uncommon in the US since there’s no requirement to include them in new vehicles.
