How to check your car’s lights

Regularly checking your car’s lights not only helps keep you safe on the road, it can also prevent your vehicle from being defected.

Modern cars are equipped with all sorts of lights, from headlights, taillights and indicators to reversing lights, daytime running lights and fog lights.

In this video, we show how to check your car’s many lights. While the video covers front fog lights, some vehicles also have a red rear fog light.
