foglight

Low visibility lamp

A foglight is a low-mounted vehicle light designed to illuminate the road in fog, rain, or snow.

Foglights aim their beam downward and wide to reduce glare and reflection from water droplets: I switched on the foglights when the mist rolled in.

Also spelled fog light.
