Since you can't really see straight ahead through thick fog, the lights keep you centered on the road by letting you know how close the sides are... |
Your right, my post wasn't well worded. The term "fog light" is often abused, used as a catch all for any light added to a vehicle. But true fog lights should have a tightly controlled, narrow vertical, wide horizontal beam, looking like a stripe when shined on a wall. The idea is to light up the ground and not the junk in the air.
