Default Is it illegal to drive with the fog lamps on?

Hey all

Tonight on the way home I was pulled over for a random breath test and was told by the officer that it is illegal to drive with the fog lights on (apparently it carries a $250 fine and 3 demerit points!)...my question is, how can something factory on a car be illegal???

And how come its illegal in the first place? I switched it back on when I got home and it doesn't look any brighter than the standard xenon lights!
Anyway, shouldn't Subaru warn us about this or remove the lights altogether before handing us the keys?!!!

Finally, is it legal to drive with the fog lights on during the day?

The officer who told me this, also drives a MY09 wrx sedan so maybe he's on this forum and could answer these questions for me?

Cheers
