That’s what dipped beams are for......  Regards

Rear fogs are a legal requirement in the EU/UK, fronts are not so can be optional.

Well only ONE rear fog lamp is the requirement and it has to be on the off-side.
Many manufactures 'balance' the rear lamp cluster, and some don't fit bulbs, some don't fit the link wire. Some have Reverse on N/S and Fog on O/S

I have converted many vehicles to have BOTH fog lamps working on the rear.

Fogs and dipped beam, the fogs really fill in the road edge, works quite well actually, try it when no ones about  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I find I rarely switch the fronts on, use the rears more.

I cannot remember the last time I drove in fog thick enough that fog lights worked better than decent dipped beams.

Driving in, North Norfolk, on roads where you can't see where the road ends and the scenery begins, I find the fog lights very useful.

Then totally ignoring Rule 226 of the Highway Code.
Law RVLR regs 25 & 27


This is why I fitted Aux Driving Lights.

Could have fooled me, there were plenty around North Walsham and Happisburgh when I was up there last month!

I live rural; everytime I drive at night, I use my fogs and low beams or, when there is no oncoming traffic, my high beams. In the warmer months, the high beams can give you an advantage on critter/etc eyes, looking to cross the roads.......

We drive in north Norfolk......well almost North (we don’t venture near Holt or Fakenham because they don’t like us leaving muddy tyre tracks on the roads there) a good few times a year visiting the farm, the roads are fine just steer the other way when you feel the front wheels wobbling  Regards

I too find that the front fog lights are handy to fill in the area immediately in front and to the edges of the road in front.
This is very useful on the narrow(ish), dark, country roads around here.
On the main roads they are not necessary as the increased speed needs normal main and dipped beams.

Totally agree with this! With previous vehicles, I’ve always found that the fogs give that low-level, wide beam that reflects off the stag’s eyes when he is just off the road and looks up in response to the vehicle noise. Sadly my fogs have never worked on the FL2 (I think it is a relay issue) with expensive results... https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic31019.html 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
