Fog lights are low-mounted lamps that light the road close to the car with a wide, flat beam. In fog, rain or snow that low, wide light reflects less off the weather than your headlights do.
LED Fog Light Bulbs
The cheapest upgrade is a LED bulb in your existing fog housing. It works best in projector fog housings. In reflector housings, choose bulbs designed to mimic the halogen filament position, or the beam can scatter.
Yellow vs White Fog Lights
Selective yellow light is easier on the eyes in fog and snow because it reduces glare from the shorter blue wavelengths. White fogs match modern headlights better. Many drivers run switchable dual-color LEDs to get both.
Projector Fog Light Assemblies
A full projector fog assembly gives a sharp cutoff and the most usable light. It is the best upgrade if your car has no fogs, or has dim reflector units.
Some cars also have a rear fog lamp for visibility from behind; on the GR86 and BRZ, this LED rear fog light assembly is a popular upgrade.
Install and Aim
- Fog lights should aim low: the top of the beam at or below the height of the fog lamp itself.
- Use a relay harness for any assembly that adds new lights.
- Check local rules on when fog lights can be used and on colored lights.
