It's technically illegal to have the rear fog light (or really ANY fog lights) on during fair weather conditions. I doubt you'll find a cop who will ticket you for it, though.The lights are aimed in such a way that they can be distracting to drivers, especially rear fog lights. Rear fogs are aimed directly at driver eye-level so as to increase visibility in foggy conditions (as you would expect, given their name).

Wiring up a light that was intended to be used as a rear fog light as a brake light is a super d-bag thing to do. I see cars all the time with the rear fogs wired up as brake lights and they are bright, obnoxious, and make you look like a tool driving around. But hey, do whatever you want to your cars
