Every fog light I have seen is only as birght as tail lights, not brake lights. Also, fog lights tend to be very close to the ground usually even in the rear. My old Mini was like that and the twins are too. Cant think of a car that I have seen where it is high. Now I'm gonna have to go pay attention to everything looking for one.

Technically these arent even fog lights but auxiliary lights according to thr CA vehicle code at least so there is no criteria for how/when they should be used. Just limits to placement and how many you can have
