Fog lights and LED headlights: What’s the difference

When it comes to vehicle lighting, two terms are often mentioned: fog lights and LED headlights. Both lights play a vital role when driving.

What are LED headlights?

Headlights are the most commonly used lights when we drive. When you are driving on the road, the headlights are your main light source, emitting bright white light to illuminate the road ahead.

Headlights are usually divided into low beam and high beam, so we should use the appropriate headlights in different scenarios.

What are fog lights?

Fog lights are lights specially designed to improve visibility in difficult driving conditions such as haze, heavy rain, dust or snow. Unlike ordinary headlights, fog lights illuminate the road directly in front of the vehicle with a wide strip of light beam, and the beam position is low. This position allows light to pass through fog, while standard headlights may reflect and make it impossible to see the road ahead.

Fog lights usually emit yellow or amber light, which is less likely to be reflected by water droplets in the air than white light. Therefore, it will illuminate the road ahead more clearly than ordinary headlights.

What is the difference between these two types of lights?

Mounting position: Fog lights are installed lower on the vehicle to prevent light from reflecting from fog and causing glare. LED headlights are installed higher and can illuminate the road at a greater distance.

Beam shape: Fog lights usually emit a wide, flat beam and are close to the ground, while LED headlights usually emit a longer, more concentrated beam that can illuminate farther.

Beam color: Fog lights generally emit yellow or amber light, which is better for penetrating fog without causing glare. LED headlights emit bright white light and provide clear visibility under normal conditions.

Use: Fog lights are used in specific situations, such as fog, heavy rain, snow and other conditions with low visibility. LED headlights are mainly used for standard lighting for driving at night or in low-light conditions.

Therefore, both fog lights and LED headlights play an important role in automotive safety. Fog lights are best suited for low-visibility conditions and can help drivers drive safely in extreme weather, while LED headlights provide excellent lighting for general night driving.
