Differences between Fog Lights and Daytime Running Lights

Hi, this is Fiona. Today I would like to share something about the differences between fog lights and daytime running lights.

We all know there are a lot of LED lights for cars, such as headlights, fog lights, tail lights, right? You may not know all the functions of each light, but they are all designed for offering the safety driving for drivers.

And it seems that the fog lights and DRL are easy to understand, but some people also confused. So let's see the difference now.

Fog lights

Unlike the headlights, fog lights are only useful for some specific situations, just like the poor weather or sand and dust weather and other poor visibility. This is all because fog light not only is angled and the brightness of the headlights, but also it can cut through the fog without causing any glare.

There are two types of fog lights, one is front fog lights, another is rear fog lights. When it is foggy, they can act as the headlights and tail lights.

Daytime Running Lights/DRL

DRL helps other road users see this vehicle by emitting white, yellow, amber lights by automatically switched on. Recently, you can almost find them on every vehicle.

Some poor weather, we can use the fog lights as the headlights. However, DRL can not be a substitute for headlights. Although they are also in the front and rear of the vehicle, they can not sufficiently light the road. If you turn on the DRL at night, you probably only see a few meters in front of you.

With the technology of lights improvement, a lot of headlights have multifunctions, including high beam, low beam, and daytime running lights. For example, our company/Kindle Industry Limited designed and produced several types of headlights with high beam, low beam, and DRL functions.

The above is something about the differences between fog lights and daytime running lights, and all related information is from the network. Should there is any proposed supplement or advice, please do not hesitate to contact me!
