To add to the discussion about the fog light. Belgian law states that a rear fog light is mandatory, front fogs are optional.
They can only be used when:
- mist limits visibility to 100 m;
- Snow limits visibility to 100 m;
- Heavy rain
The reason why front fogs are so low (and don't give 'extra' light) is they illuminate underneath the fog (fogs hangs over the road in a cloudform), so other drivers can see it or if the fog is really thick you can shut off the main lights and run just the fogs, otherwise you just have a white wall of fog in front of you.
