Symptoms3
- A green or amber indicator on the cluster.
- A low, wide beam in front of the car.
- Drivers behind you complain about a glaring rear light.
Possible causes3
- Fog lights switched on from the light switch.
- Forgetting to switch them off after fog or dust clears.
- Some cars switch a front fog light on automatically when turning to light the side of the road.
How to diagnose and fix3
- Switch the fog lights off once visibility improves.
- Use them in thick fog, dust and sandstorms while reducing speed.
- Never use the rear fog light in clear weather, as it dazzles drivers behind you.
