fog lamps
Low visibility lights
Fog lamps are auxiliary vehicle lights mounted low on the front, designed to illuminate the road in fog, rain, or snow.
Their low, wide beam cuts beneath fog rather than reflecting back into the driver's eyes like headlights do.
Many cars have them as standard equipment, though some drivers use them purely for style: He drove around with his fog lamps on in clear weather.
