Fog lights

A fog lamp produces very bright light. They are intended to be visible even in a fog bank. You may not use these lights in other situations because they are annoying for other road users. There is a fine for incorrect use of fog lamps.

Fog lamps at the front of the car produce a wide, glare-free beam of light that falls low. To illuminate the road under the fog bank. During dense fog, high beam is usually unusable. Because the fog reflects the light and can blind you yourself. If the front fog lamps are on, parking lights may be used instead of the dipped beam.

The rear fog lamp should only be switched on when visibility is less than 50 meters due to fog or snow. PLEASE NOTE: the rear fog light may not be used in heavy rain!
