Operating Instructions
Your Boxlight LED Fog Lights integrate three distinct lighting functions:
- Daytime Running Lights (DRL): These lights activate automatically when the vehicle is running, providing enhanced visibility during daylight hours.
- Fog Lights: The powerful LED fog lights are designed to cut through adverse weather conditions such as fog, heavy rain, or snow. Activate them using your vehicle's standard fog light switch. They provide a wide, low-reaching beam to illuminate the road without causing glare to oncoming traffic.
- Turn Signals: The integrated turn signals provide a clear and highly noticeable flashing indicator when you activate your vehicle's turn signal lever, ensuring safe lane changes and turns.
