Abstract:
A headlight is disposed along the front end of the vehicle for illuminating an area located forward of the front end of the vehicle. A fog lamp assembly is disposed along the front end of the vehicle and below the headlight. The fog lamp assembly includes a housing; a front lens; a support wall; and a bulb having a base adapted to be removably connected to the support wall. The bulb has a light-emitting filament encased in a shell that extends from the base. The shell is substantially translucent to allow light from the filament to pass therethrough. The shell has a distal end spaced apart from the base. The bulb is angled outwardly toward a side of the vehicle at a predetermined angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle so that light from the filament illuminates an area both forward and to the side of the vehicle and so that some of the light from the filament is blocked by a nontranslucent portion of the distal end to prevent glare light from the front lens.
