fog light

Low-mounted driving beam

A fog light is a vehicle headlight designed to improve visibility in fog, rain, snow, or other conditions where standard headlights prove inadequate.

Mounted low on the front of a vehicle, fog lights cast a wide, flat beam that illuminates the road surface without reflecting back into the driver's eyes the way regular high beams do in fog.

Some vehicles also have rear fog lights to make them more visible to following traffic.
