The value of running "fog lamps" here is to provide up-close fill-in illumination that high beams tend to sacrifice in exchange for the extra 'reach'. You're not trying to add to the long-distance illumination, just 'crutch' what the high beams aren't so good at.

Exactly. I think the situation before involved the maximum number of individual filaments allowed to be lit, which is a non-issue in at least where two-eyed HID headlighting is concerned.
