- 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.

That's probably EU/EEA regulations and thereby the law in Norway, too.
Having driven mostly German cars for a few decades I'm disappointed by the fog lights on the GT86. They're not focused on the road directly ahead, instead they cast a broad, diffuse and weak cone of light.
The rest of the car is pure joy and the maintenance costs are far lower than for any German car, so I'm very happy in my 4th year of ownership.
