I’ve been advocating that for a while now.
What's wrong with normal lights in heavy fog? Ideal solution as far as I’m concerned.
Reality is probably they do not have a clue that one light is out – let’s hope if they get stopped they get two tickets.
. Someone show me a front fog light which enables you to see better at anything over 5mph.
Totally agree on both counts. IMO rear fogs are only of benefit in thick fog on dual carriageways/motorways.

Was foggy last weekend and saw a pick up with no lights on,but he'd got whopping great fog lights fitted .Also fetching my better half from work last month,11.30pm and saw 4 cars in the space of a mile with fog lights on.Had been raining so was dazzled with reflection fron road surface.I flashed the 4th car and he put main beam on.So decided if you can't beat em,join em.5 min later got pulled and given a warning .LOL

This is the only time I would condone the use of foglights when it is not poor visibility. I would rather know the width of an approaching vehicle.
IMO front fogs are to enable you to see better, rears are so others can see you. If you're on a streetlit motorway you don't need your fronts, but the rears give some extra security.
If leading down a foggy road you might need the fronts, but should turn the rears off if being followed by another vehicle.
Therefore independent controls are part of the solution not part of the problem.
