Fog Lamps: Front and Rear Fog Lights for Cars, Utes and Trucks
A fog lamp does a job your headlights were never built for, sitting low on the bumper to cut a flat beam under fog, dust, and heavy rain rather than bouncing light back into your eyes. CBT Auto Parts stocks front and rear fog lights for passenger cars through to trucks and 4WDs, each one matched to genuine fitment data before it goes live.
Aftermarket fog lamps are standard practice across Australia once the beam pattern and mounting match factory spec, and every unit here clears that bar. This range sits alongside Headlights for full-beam upgrades and Daytime Running Lights for DRL-integrated units, all part of our wider Lighting & Signaling Parts family. Most fog lamp orders ship within twenty-four hours.

Why a Fog Lamp Beam Is Built Differently from a Headlight
Headlights are angled and shaped to throw light down the road, which is exactly why they work against you in fog. Water droplets and dust particles scatter that upward-angled beam straight back at the driver, creating a wall of glare that makes visibility worse rather than better. A fog lamp beam sits low and flat, running close to the road surface underneath where most fog sits, and cuts a wide horizontal spread rather than a long throw. That difference in beam geometry is the entire reason fog lamps exist as a separate part rather than just a brighter headlight bulb.
Front Fog Lights Versus Rear Fog Lights
The two are not interchangeable, and mixing them up is a common ordering error.
- Front fog lights mount low in the bumper and improve the driver's own visibility in fog, dust or heavy rain by lighting the road surface close to the vehicle.
- Rear fog lights mount near the taillights and serve the opposite purpose, making your vehicle visible to traffic behind you rather than lighting your own path.
- Combined front and rear kits are common on vehicles imported from fog-prone regions and are worth checking for before assuming your vehicle only has one or the other.
Confirming which position has failed, front or rear, is the first step before browsing this collection.
Choosing Between Halogen, LED, and DRL Integrated Fog Lamps
Fog lamp technology has moved well past the standard halogen globe, and the right pick depends on the vehicle and how it is driven.
- Halogen fog lamps remain the standard OEM replacement for most passenger cars and keep upfront cost low.
- LED fog lamps run brighter and cooler, holding up better on trucks and 4WDs that use them for extended hours on rural or unlit roads.
- LED fog lights with DRL combine the fog function with a daytime running light in one housing, common on newer model vehicles as a factory option and popular as an aftermarket upgrade.
- High-beam fog lights are built for drivers who want extra supplementary light on top of standard fog coverage, typically fitted to 4WDs running off-road at night.
Whichever option suits your vehicle, check the bulb base, commonly H11 on many passenger models, before ordering a replacement globe rather than a full housing.
Fitment Checks Specific to Fog Lamps
Fog lamp housings are frequently model-specific even within the same manufacturer's range, more so than headlights or taillights.
- Confirm your exact model and build year, since a mid-cycle facelift often changes the bumper cutout shape entirely.
- Check whether your vehicle uses a round, rectangular, or integrated fog lamp housing, as these are rarely interchangeable across body styles.
- For popular models like the Toyota 86 and similar sports coupes, rear fog light housings in particular vary by trim level, so confirm against the specific variant rather than the model name alone.
- Note the bulb type fitted, since H11 is common but not universal across fog lamp housings.
Our team can confirm compatibility against your rego before you order if any of this is unclear.
When the Fix Is a Bulb, Not a Full Housing
Not every fog lamp problem needs a new housing. If the lens is intact and clear but the light output has dimmed or failed altogether, a replacement H11 fog light bulb from our Relay & Bulb Assemblies range is the faster and cheaper repair. Full housing replacement only becomes necessary once the lens has cracked, fogged internally, or the mounting bracket itself has broken. Checking which scenario applies before ordering avoids paying for a full assembly when a bulb swap would have solved it.
Shipping and Support on Every Fog Lamp Order
Most fog lamp orders dispatch within twenty-four hours, with metro delivery typically landing in two to four business days and regional addresses taking a little longer. Tracking is emailed as soon as your order leaves the warehouse. If a fog lamp arrives and the bumper cutout does not match, our lighting and electrical returns team handles the exchange directly.
