ATTN: Daniel Stern... Question...

What is the purpose/intention of fog lights. In other words, why were they
created and what purpose do they serve? When are they to be used if your
vehicle is so equipped? Thanks.

C'mon Corey - your a regular here.

To provide better visibility during foggy conditions. Lights that work
well during a clear day do not work well during foggy conditions. So
someone figured out what type of light provides better visibility.

As their name implies, during foggy conditions.

What confuses many people is that they think lights that are yellow or mouned
below the bumper are fog ligthts. There is more to a fog lamp than the color
of the light and the mounting location.

While we're on this topic, I saw something new to me the other day:
the lower half of the headlight glass on this car was tinted
yellow and pink. From side-on it was almost invisible, but if
the car was in the distance behind you, then the headlights
looked like very bright reflective highlighter colours.
This was all in the daytime so I have no idea what it would do
at night.
What would be the purpose of that tinting ? Showing off, or
some sort of visibility aid?
