I think you may be wrong there, they are positioned lower than normal headlights because they light up the road rather than dazzling you (effectively a bit like snow blindness) by using more lights higher up.

Front fog lamps provide a wide, bar-shaped beam of light with a sharp cutoff at the top, and are generally aimed and mounted low.[10][11][12] They may be either white or selective yellow. They are intended for use at low speed to increase the illumination directed towards the road surface and verges in conditions of poor visibility due to rain, fog, dust or snow. As such, they are often most effectively used in place of dipped-beam headlamps, reducing the glareback from fog or falling snow, although the legality varies by jurisdiction of using front fog lamps without low beam headlamps. Use of the front fog lamps when visibility is not seriously reduced is often prohibited (for example in the United Kingdom), as they can cause increased glare to other drivers, particularly in wet pavement conditions, as well as harming the driver's own vision due to excessive foreground illumination.[13]
The respective purposes of front fog lamps and driving lamps are often confused, due in part to the misconception that fog lamps are necessarily selective yellow, while any auxiliary lamp that makes white light is a driving lamp. Automakers and aftermarket parts and accessories suppliers frequently refer interchangeably to "fog lamps" and "driving lamps" (or "fog/driving lamps"). In most countries, weather conditions rarely necessitate the use of fog lamps, and there is no legal requirement for them, so their primary purpose is frequently cosmetic. They are often available as optional extras or only on higher trim levels of many cars. Studies have shown that in North America more people inappropriately use their fog lamps in dry weather than use them properly in poor weather.[14]

EDIT: do you often drive in fog or snow?

I'm convinced fog lights these days are purely a fashion statement/penis extension. I had them on my old Clio. Made f**k all difference in the fog.

What's the point in HID fogs? I think I've only used fogs about 5 times since I passed my test. 4 of those were probably in Switzerland

i bought some osram night breakers for my fogs as one had blown. a part of my way to work at 7 in the morning is 50% of the time very foggy (between coalville/whitwick and copt oak if anyone knows it). These bulbs seem to be quite good. i would only use them in the fog though, even then they dont seem to make much difference to visability.

Oh, it'd be beyond perfection to see some silly tw@t getting pulled by the Cops for using fog-lights as a fashion accessory.

 

[Mickb]
