Fog lights are designed to improve visibility in poor weather conditions such as fog, heavy rain, or snow. They provide a wide, low beam that cuts through mist and reduces glare. If your fog lights are not working due to a blown bulb, damaged housing, or wiring fault, replacing them restores visibility and safety in difficult driving conditions.
