Cars have evolved over hundreds of years, and all of their features and configurations have a unique role to play. Small fog lights look inconspicuous, but in foggy weather, they increase the brightness and penetration of the lighting, resulting in a safer driving experience. In recent years, many car owners have found that fog lights have been abolished. Cutting corners? In fact, from the perspective of laws and regulations, no country in the world mandates cars to install fog lights. The abolition of fog lights may not necessarily be for cutting corners and collectively reducing allocation, but for normal technical iterations.
First, the fog lights are one. Many auto companies directly cancel the car fog lights when installing new cars, rather than reducing the allocation, but merging them with the daytime running lights. Now, many cars have abolished halogen headlights and replaced them with LED daytime running lights. Although the transmittance of the LED light source is not as strong as the fog lamp, due to the good brightness and the role of warning, the fog lamp does not need to exist. These automakers integrate the function of fog lights with daytime running lights, and owners who encounter foggy weather only need to turn on the headlamps to improve the penetration of the lights, and the daytime running lights replace the function of fog lights to a certain extent.
Second, the size of the fog lamp is reduced. In the past, many automobile companies specially designed fog lights, but now considering the aesthetic needs of young people, they are worried that fog lights will affect the shape of the bumper, so the size of fog lights has been reduced. Most of the sporty cars on the market have eliminated the design of fog lights and replaced them with vents and black decorative panels, which can improve both aesthetics and visual impact on the front face. Third, from a security point of view. Some automobile companies cancel fog lights, mainly because they are worried that the fog lights are too bright and affect the normal driving of the opposite car. When driving in the city, if the owner of the other party has a fog light, the owner of the opposite lane will feel that his eyes are blurred. In order to avoid the safety hazard caused by the owner's failure to use the fog light according to the regulations, the automobile manufacturer directly canceled the design of the fog light and integrated the fog light and the brake light into one.
Fourth, in order to reduce the allocation. Other car companies cancel fog lights in order to save the cost of car manufacturing. Since there are no relevant regulations in China, car companies are required to force the installation of fog lights, and car companies believe that daytime traffic lights will replace fog lights, so car companies cancel the design of fog lights. Do fog lights need to be installed? Some cars do not have fog lights. The owner went to the renovation factory to install fog lights at his own expense. Because fog lights are very important. If you encounter heavy rain or fog, the penetration will be stronger, and after installing the fog lights, you can remind the surrounding owners to pay attention to avoidance. However, vehicle owners also need to be aware. Fog lights are shaped like brake lights, and if the fog lights installed by the owner are unreasonable and cannot pass the annual inspection, they may also be deducted points or fined. When the owner installs the fog lights at his own expense, he must pay attention to the location and size of the fog lights installed, and must not affect the normal driving of others.
With the development of car-making technology, the standard configuration of fog lights is now gradually obsolete. The reason why fog lights are gradually eliminated is not only because the fog lights make the front part of the car more complex, affecting the beauty of the car, but more importantly, the fog lights are integrated with the daytime running lights, and do not need to be set separately?
