Yeah mate. Fog lights are used in fogs. LOL.

But yeah I questioned that too when I first got my old VR. That's why I thought I might replace my fog lights with DRLs instead. The only fog I see is on the way down to woolongong.

Fog lights are designed to reduce glare that occurs while you are driving through thick fog. When you flip on your headlights in a patch of fog, most of the light is reflected back at you from the water droplets in the cloud of fog.

Water is reflective of light almost to the point of being a mirror, so whenever you turn on your headlights in a fog, you are going to receive most of the light thrown out back in your eyes.

This creates a blinding patch of light in front of you.

The idea behind fog lights is to reduce the amount of glare thrown back at you.
The fog lights are angled downward toward the road at an angle, so when you turn them on, the light is thrown across the road in front of you and not straight ahead of you, where it can be reflected back.
The light is not reflected back into your eyes.

This gives you some visibility of the roadway, without blinding you. The colour of the lights has no bearing on their use in fog.
these days yellow or any other colour is not recognized as being "better" at penetrating fog.
