We present to the attention of motorists laser fog brake light(headlight) - a device that increases the safety of driving a car in conditions insufficient visibility, be it snowfall, fog, pouring rain. Easily installed on any car model.
Universal laser brake light - unique opportunity reduce the risk of accidents on the road. A small device that forms a bright luminous boundary line behind the car will do its job perfectly in any weather. We recommend that you become the owner of a laser gadget for your car and reduce the likelihood of an accident.
Application of laser brake light
Laser “foglight” is a new product in the field of auto gadgets, useful to all car owners. The device first went on sale in 2014. With this versatile accessory safe movement Along the way it increases many times over. Brake light can also be used as rear parking lights, reducing the risk dangerous collisions in poor visibility conditions.
The laser brake light, installed at the rear of the car, draws a spectacular luminous line of bright red color on the asphalt. The “fiery” line attracts attention to you, makes you stand out in traffic, forces drivers of cars behind you to keep a safe distance and slow down. This psychological factor makes the use of the device not only spectacular, but also effective for its owner.
At night, the laser beam emitted by the LED becomes especially noticeable. At dusk it forms a large luminous triangle, during the day it forms a bright line reflected on road surface. In any case, your car will not go unnoticed, road safety will increase by 50%.
A laser brake light can also help a novice driver park or enter a garage correctly. in reverse.
Appearance of the anti-fog projector
Externally, the laser fog brake light is a small metal cylinder. Almost invisible on the car, it fits perfectly into its design. A wire comes out of the device to connect it to power from rear lights or brake light. Very convenient way The mount allows you to easily change the angle of inclination, thereby adjusting the distance from the car bumper to the stop line on the asphalt. The line is perpendicular to the movement of the machine.
The delivery set includes a laser emitter (1 pc.), power supply (1 pc.), mounting bolts and 3M tape.
The advantages of a fog brake light are as follows:
- Helps increase road safety;
- Increased beam brightness;
- Adjustment of signal range and emitter position angle;

Installation options for laser fog lights
Installing a laser fog brake light does not require any special skills. You can install it yourself or at a car service center. Depending on the driver’s imagination and his desire, the brake light can be installed inside the car so that it shines through rear window.
The most popular installation locations for laser brake lights
- Under the plate with the number;
- Under the bumper;
- Under the spoiler;
- Under taillight;
- Bottom of the car.
At self-installation Pay attention to the angle of the device. It should be no more than 45 degrees. In this case, the laser beam is projected onto the road, and not onto the car following behind. The beam range is up to 25 m.
You can power the device from its dimensions, then it will function constantly. When powered by the brake light bulb, the laser beam will be turned on by pressing the brake pedal.
Price and video review of laser brake light
The cost of the projector is 4230 rubles. However, you can take advantage of the promotional offer and purchase a “fog light” at special price- 1990 rubles.
A video review of the fog brake light is presented below:
Universal laser brake light - LED tuning car, not only decorating it, but also increasing confidence in safety on the road. This neon mini projector serves to protect the driver and passengers of the car from collisions, rear-end collisions and other accidents in poor visibility conditions. Reflecting from water particles in humid air, it creates an even brighter beam of light in the form of a triangle. The laser auto gadget can be installed on a car of any make and age.
Did you know that two thirds of accidents have approximately the same plot: the driver who is driving behind does not have time to brake after the first one and crushes his bumper. The cause of the incident often lies not so much in the culprit himself, but in the imperfection of the stop signals. They are simply not visible enough, so the advent of powerful LEDs made it possible to create a laser stop signal. One of the first Audi concern presented new concept using lasers to improve traffic safety. Such a brake light projects a diverging red beam at a distance of 2-4 meters. IN dark time day, only the stop line is visible behind the car, and in fog or heavy rain Laser radiation is reflected from water particles and forms lines and patterns when looking at the car from behind.
Cyclists were also not ignored and a laser was released for sale specifically for such people. Vehicle. Only they have stripes visible on the sides.
This powerful LED projector not only signals the driver to brake rear car, but also indicates a safe distance at which he should keep. Laser stop signal will save rear drivers from the desire to approach your car closer than a few meters, and will reduce the likelihood of an accident to a minimum.

How to connect a laser stop signal
The laser brake light is easy to install and does not require special knowledge. The kit includes fastenings with which the laser can be screwed onto a bolt in any convenient place.
The device connects to the brake light to light up when you press the brake pedal. Displays a bright red stripe on the asphalt in dry weather and creates a clearly visible triangle in rain or fog, capable of breaking through a dense curtain of rain and being seen from a distance of several hundred meters.
We will not give a connection diagram - it may be different for each car, but they all have the same rule - it must be connected parallel to the brake lights. For example, on a VAZ, you can throw wires all over the outside directly from the connector of the rear (any headlight), or somewhere in the middle, closer to the wire, you can clean out the wiring and use clips to stretch more wires. You only need a plus, the minus is enough to take on the body. Various options for installing a laser anti-fog signal are possible depending on the car owner’s imagination - installation on the bottom, installation of two laser signals in anti-fog sections and other options. Parallel connection with license plate lamps or brake lamps is also possible.
Laser is a truly excellent method for increasing traffic safety in fog and is the most progressive direction in automotive lighting technology, as it has many advantages over all other types of emitters (halogen, xenon, LED): one of them is unprecedented brightness and efficiency!
Video of device operation
Every car owner should know this:
The device that forms a bright red line behind the car on the asphalt is called differently. And, in fact, the discrepancy in definitions aroused our curiosity in the first place. There are at least three options for using this gadget, the price of which is Chinese online stores does not exceed 200 rubles. Here's how it's discussed on various automotive forums:
“I saw such a thing for the first time in Krasnoyarsk. A girl was riding ahead. Cork. The “stop” light comes on and, purely reflexively, you cannot go beyond the red line. I think it's a useful thing. Tomorrow I’ll install it for myself!”
“This is NOT a stop light! This is a distance indicator. In good weather it is visible as bright stripe behind the car. It doesn’t blind, and it can’t - the beam “draws” only on a plane, a useful thing, because at night it is often difficult to determine the real distance to the car, especially if there are a lot of oncoming people.”
“I’ve been using this device for six months. True, I turn it on only when visibility is poor. It illuminates the border perfectly - especially in the fog. I adjusted it to 70 meters - it doesn’t hit the eyes of those driving behind, but the cone is visible clearly and quite brightly (especially at night) - but it doesn’t blind.”
How does it work
The so-called "laser" fog light"or "laser brake light" is a small red laser module with a power of several milliwatts - like in the simplest pointer. The “stop light” is designed in the form of a small cylinder on a hinged mount, which allows you to adjust the angle of the beam. The laser lens is made in such a way that it forms a light strip on the illuminated surface. The laser diode requires approximately three volts to be supplied to it, so it is powered through a small stabilizer module (a box on a wire), which allows it to be supplied with both 12 volts and 24 volts if necessary.
The laser flashlight is attached using double-sided tape or a couple of screws - in the area of the rear license plate illumination or under the spoiler. While conducting experiments, we stuck the gadget directly onto the edge of the trunk lid for ease of adjustment.
Stop signal?
First, we connect the laser parallel to one of the “stopper” lamps as additional brake light. There is a popular assumption in society that a red line, three meters wide, that lights up a few meters behind the car motivates the driver behind to keep a safe distance, and not move in a dangerous “nose to stern” style.
To be honest, this is more than dubious “know-how” - it was not possible to notice any effect from it. Firstly, during the day the laser is practically invisible on the asphalt - it can only be used at dusk. But even in the dark, everything is not so great... The fact is that in a traffic jam, the interval between cars depends, first of all, on the individual habits of the person driving behind you (a fan of hanging on your tail or a calm “distance operator”), as well as on the duration of the traffic jam itself.
In a long traffic jam, even the most delicate driver involuntarily but methodically reduces the interval in order to create the illusion of movement and, nervous about “breakers,” tries to prevent them from potentially getting in the way. So the stripe on the asphalt does not significantly affect the distance... There is, however, an option for installing a laser, in which the stripe clearly appears on the “propper” right on the hood, but this option is only possible for station wagons and SUVs with upper spoilers - for sedans And hatchbacks won’t be able to mount a laser that high.
Hazard light/fog light?
The next option for using a laser is to use the device as a supplement to the hazard warning system during an emergency stop or driving in fog. In this case, it is probably advisable to connect the device via a separate button to the dimensions. It is assumed that in the dark, a stripe on the asphalt will warn passing cars driving behind in advance, and in the fog, the laser will reflect from the haze and form a kind of red “pyramid”.
Theoretically, this is true. But even in complete darkness at a distance of 10 meters and further laser strip turns out to be useless - standard side lights coupled with alarm much brighter than it, the stripe is hardly noticeable against their background. It’s the same with the “pyramid” in the fog, it’s small and dim.
The fact is that as the range increases, the bandwidth increases, which proportionally reduces its brightness. Remember flashlights with adjustable focus? You can make a spot the size of an orange, but very bright, or you can make a three-meter spot, but it will be dim... So is the laser - its maximum brightness is ensured with a stripe width of up to three meters at a distance of about five meters from the bumper. Everything further is barely visible even in complete darkness.
Parking assistance?
Another idea found on the Internet is the use of a laser strip as an aid to navigate when reversing in the dark. If you install the laser so that it shines horizontally, then a stripe on obstacles (walls, cars, etc.) will be visible when due to rear tinting, darkness and precipitation, the reversing lights cannot cope.
Its use can only be rational in a two-wheeled version - such devices are placed on bicycles so that the driver of a car moving along the road notices a bicycle leaving a secondary lane in advance. Well, or you can mount the laser on some massive base, power it from a nine-volt battery and use it as a light ruler - for example, you can use it to “beat off” a horizontal line for drilling holes in the bumper for parking sensors, gluing moldings on the door or similar work , requiring long horizontal markings.
Automotive lighting today widely presents to its customers the product of the most progressive line of its activity - a laser brake light for a car. Economical and bright, easy to install, it is an unprecedented competitor to its “brothers” of emitters - LED, xenon and halogen.
It's no secret that limited visibility during fog, rain, snowfall, smog from forest fires, dust storms, etc. are common cause accidents on the roads. Poor visibility often provokes a risky approach of cars not only moving towards each other, but also traveling in the same direction. It must also be said that many drivers simply ignore the installation fog signals, which sometimes even leads to death.
Laser fog lights are easy to install and very inexpensive, but they significantly improve road safety. Such a powerful “fog” shines with a red triangle formed from the reflection of water particles. The red laser beam psychologically affects the driver driving behind and “forces” him to maintain a safe distance - at least 25 meters, thereby reducing the possibility of an accident to zero. A red brake light will also help the driver when moving backwards (when entering a parking lot or garage, for example).
If you decide to buy a laser brake light, then you can install it as in service center, and independently without any problems - this does not require any special knowledge. The device can be mounted at the driver’s request: under the bumper, on the bottom of the car, under the taillight, under the license plate of the car (installation standard). It is possible to install two lamps - in parallel or not.
Advantages of a laser brake light for a car:
- Easy installation;
- Versatility;
- Waterproof;
- Not subject to corrosion (made of aluminum);
- Significantly increases traffic safety.
If it is powered from the standard fog lights, then it will light only when it is turned on. If food is coming depending on the dimensions, its light will be on constantly, but “powered” by the brake light bulb, it will light up when braking.
Car installation options:
Attention! The controller must be installed inside the car, in a dry place; if traces of corrosion are found in the controller, the warranty will be voided!
