Let Volvo Lead the Way

The lighting system of a vehicle is a great help for the driver and the other vehicles on the road as well. This is for the basic reason that it provides illumination. Various lights make up the system. There are the headlights or headlamps, tail lights, turn signal lights, parking lights, and fog lights. Some are not just for the purpose of illumination, but also for communication with the other drivers on the road. For example, the turn signal lights indicate whether the vehicle in front will turn left or turn right. The parking lights may say that the vehicle will run in reverse, advising the other vehicles that it needs enough distance. The fog lights are important because not only do they illuminate, but they can guide the driver to see through the dampest weather conditions as well.

Fortunately for Volvo owners, their Volvo Fog Lights are both highly efficient and sufficiently durable to outlast any other brands of fog lights. The Volvo Fog Lights are generally aimed. They produce a wide, bar-shaped light beam with a sharp cutoff at the top that come in white or selective yellow. Primarily used at low speed, they add the illumination in the direction of the road surface. They also prove to be beneficial in the occasions of rain, fog, dust or snow that cause poor visibility. Thus they are most effective when used as substitute for dipped-beam headlights as they decrease the “glareback” from fog or falling snow. However, the legality of using front fog lights without low beam headlights varies by jurisdiction.

Some studies show that more people in America inappropriately use their fog lights in dry weather than use them properly in poor weather. This probably holds true for most Volvo owners because flaunting the Volvo Fog Lights is just so hard to resist. While some simply enjoy its effectiveness, others find that even the fog lights can add to the aesthetic value of the car. Aside from lighting the way, every Volvo Fog Light brightens up the vehicle’s appearance, adding that edgy look that drivers aspire for.
