Now many of my friends bought a new car will find why only a light rear fog lamp! Then love guess friends immediately thought of which is the manufacturer of "Jerry" reasons! The rear fog lights only one? After the fog is only one there is a reason!
According to the European ECE R38 legislation, if body rear loaded on two star rear fog light words, fog lamp position must brake lights above 10cm apart. Carefully think about it is the leading cause of the European car factory use only a single rear fog lamp's sake. Due to the interval to 10 cm above, it will greatly damage the beauty of the entire tail groups!
Think this reason is too far fetched?
In fact, only a rear fog lamp which is a scientific credentials.
Driver for the symmetric light prone to paralysis of the reaction, and after the two fog lights and a fog, a fog can arouse the attention of the rear of the driver!
