foglights are almost always aimed lower than the headlights and fan out much wider. These 2 factors both lead to a significant reduction in the depth of light foglights provide.

driving lights would do exactly what you describe but are illegal for street use in most states

I'm not disputing that on your particular car the foglights combined with upgraded bulbs may produce near HID levels of illumination, but I think it is a far stretch to say that this would be the case for most cars and the opinion of most other people.
