Important ///
Remember: you can't use fog lights when driving in fog-free weather!
Car fog lamps have strong penetration and cannot be used as daily lighting. If fog lights are used in normal weather, they will cause visual disturbance to other drivers; Turning on the fog lights when following a car at close range can dazzle the driver of the vehicle in front of you and make it difficult to correctly judge the surrounding driving environment, which can easily cause traffic accidents.
