Why are the fog lights gradually cancelled in current cars? Does the fog light have no effect? Will it have a certain impact on driving safety after the cancellation? Actually, there is no need to worry, because the current cars, even if the fog lights are cancelled, it is only The front fog lights have been eliminated. Why is the rear fog lamp necessary to be installed? Because this is a national mandatory standard. For the front fog lamp, it is only optional. You can have it or not, but the rear fog lamp must have it, and not only in China and the world. For example, if you are in Europe, you must install daytime running lights and rear fog lights, and there are no regulations for front fog lights.
Why is the rear fog lamp necessary, but the function of the front fog lamp is dispensable? To answer this question, it is necessary to involve the function of the fog lamp. Compared with the headlight of our vehicle, the fog lamp penetrates Stronger power, better light display effect. In fact, it does not exist to enhance the lighting of our vehicles, but to enhance the warning effect of other vehicles when we are driving. The reason why the rear fog lamp must be installed is because in some weather with relatively low visibility, such as some rain and fog. Weather, after we turn on the rear fog lights, even if your rear tail lights are not bright, but the rear fog lights have a very dazzling penetrating light effect, so it can be a good warning to the cars behind. Function to prevent rear-end collision.
The front fog lamp only plays the role of auxiliary lighting. Although the light penetration is strong, the brightness is not enough, so the function is easy to be replaced. For example, the current headlights are basically leds, the penetration of leds, including brightness, can completely replace fog lights, and most cars now have daytime running lights, so the front fog lights The warning function of the car can also be replaced by daytime running lights, so this is why many cars now cancel the front fog lights.
Furthermore, the fog lights on many cars before were all under the front bumper, so it was said that it greatly influenced the design of the entire front bumper. Now many cars like to design the car to be very sporty, especially the front face of the car. The domineering and sharp, if you install two fog lights below, it will affect the overall visual effect, and many cars have installed vents where the front fog lights were previously installed to dissipate heat at the place where our front wheel brakes. , So now this design is replaced by more and more.
Many of my friends are worried that after canceling the front fog lights, will it affect the safety of driving? In fact, there is no need to worry, because the cancellation of front fog lights is basically from top to bottom, and it is said that it will start slowly from the luxury car models. The safety of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was undoubtedly cancelled, and then transferred to our ordinary family car. But when it was replaced in 2014, its front fog lights were cancelled, and it was like a Rolls-Royce. For such a top luxury car, the front fog lights were cancelled many years ago.
Therefore, the elimination of front fog lights is a trend in the development of automobiles. It is also because the role of front fog lights is relatively less important than rear fog lights. It is only a warning effect, so it is especially easy to be replaced by headlights and daytime running lights. , It is harmless in itself.
