What lights do you use when driving in fog?

When you’re driving in fog, which lights provide the best visibility? I always get so nervous when I’m driving in fog and I’m never sure which lights I should be using.

It’s great that you’re taking some time to research this! Use low-beam lights when driving in fog. Although it might seem counterintuitive, this will provide the best visibility.
You should avoid using your
high-beam headlights
when driving in fog. They will make it much more difficult for you and other drivers to see where you’re going.
