Yep, this "fog" lights thing has been a perpetual issue ever since cars started sporting them from factory. Bottom line is, only legal to use them in "fog"; whether or not that extends to "smoke", "dust" or other vision distance limiting situations is open to interpretation.

Dunno about later models but the GC8 foggies are rated at 55W..... the same as the low beam headlight, and lower to the ground with the same direction of aim, so go figure. They are nowhere near as blinding as similar halogen jobs on later model commies etc.
