Mercedes Benz Fog Lights Driving in foggy situations can pose hazards and dangers not only to the user of the car but also to the nearby cars and by-standers. To prevent these hazards, various types of lighting system are used by the vehicle. One of which is the Mercedes Benz fog lights. The features and purpose of a Mercedes Benz fog lights differ from one car make to the other. What makes fog lights different from the other types of vehicle lighting system is the light pattern. Fog lights have wide beam pattern of about 70- 120 degrees which made it suitable for foggy driving conditions.

Fog lights are types of auxiliary lights. Aside from foggy conditions, it can also provide better visibility in cases of bad weather conditions. A fog lights can also provide added side lights when cornering not only in glare-producing weather conditions but also in everyday driving. During foggy situations, fog lights produce wider beam of illumination to light up the darkened road. Headlights alone can produce whiteout or a wall of glare due to the lights that bounce off against the fog. Glare may also occur during rainy or snowy driving conditions. With this condition, fog lights are added to produce a flat beam by lighting up the road right in front.

The lens and reflectors of fog lights differ from other types. The fluting or cuts in the lens determine the pattern of light deflection. The same is true with the lens which also affects the light that passes through it. Most fog lights use the lead crystal since it is the clearest type of lens that allows easier passage of lights. Other types like ordinary glass or hardened glass have longer lasting use but can be affected by the accumulated dust and dirt which can hinder the light from passing.
