Fog lights or driving lights?

In St. Louis you rarely meet up with another Saab. The cars that I elected to pull off the road to let go by weren't Saabs. They are Camaros (or similar) or pickups. Some of the pickups have added Hellas or Bosch's. One of the problems is that sometimes they're mounted too high. My '89 9000T had the added lights below the bumper. Can't recall how many times I hit them on high curbs! The driving lights on my 9-5 are also mounted low. This is good, and probably is less problematic for drivers that were ahead of me. I've only used them a couple of times in a driving rainstorm, and didn't get that close to the vehicle in front of me.
I agree with Roger about the silliness of using fog/driving lights just to look cool. Saabs on the road look cool enough!
