The tail lights of a car are installed on both sides of the rear of the car, indicating the presence of a vehicle in front of it during nighttime driving and displaying the positional relationship between the two vehicles. Generally speaking, car taillights consist of five lights: rear fog lights, brake lights, reverse lights, rear turn signals, and rear clearance lights.
1. Side marker lights, also known as clearance lights, indicate the width of a vehicle to indicate the other party and the following vehicle.
2. Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of vehicles, with a red main color to enhance the penetration of the light source, so that vehicles driving behind can easily detect the braking of the vehicle in front, even in low visibility, to prevent rear end accidents.
3. Turn signals are important indicator lights that are activated when a motor vehicle is turning to alert vehicles and pedestrians in front, behind, left, and right.
4. The reverse lights are installed at the rear of the car to illuminate the road behind it and warn vehicles and pedestrians behind it, indicating that the car is reversing. All the reverse lights are white.
5. Fog lights generally refer to car fog lights, installed in the front and rear of a car. Due to low visibility in foggy weather, the driver's line of sight is limited, and the lights can increase the distance traveled. Especially the yellow anti fog lights have strong light penetration, which can improve the visibility of drivers and surrounding traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to detect each other from a distance.
