Since foglights are primarily cosmetic, the only concern for beam projection quality, like any lamp, should be avoiding glare towards other drivers by ensuring the fogs are angled downwards. (Driveability concerns due to added foreground light notwithstanding). This is pretty easy in most cases with any type of light source, due to the position of the light and the simplistic optics of fog lights. These guys are not trying to replace their headlights. They are not trying to create a perfect standards-based lighting setup to provide the best scientific arrangement of lighting for a specific weather condition. This is aftermarket cosmetic improvement, not functional OEM vehicle design- it is accessory lighting, not headlights.

Any BRZ owner who is interested in increasing light output should first and foremost get the H11 foglight conversion, which is designed to handle a higher-power light source, and runs absolutely no risk of melting from any type of bulb.
