Once again I call Bulls---
Giving you the benefit of the doubt... maybe you can't get decent fog
lights in NZ...have a look at the Hella site below which illustrates
the illumination pattern  of their fog and driving lights. Note in
particular the two road signs where the fog lights illuminate only the
lower section of the posts and not the signs on top of them. Flat top
cutoff. No spill to  light the fog in front of your face. All the light
is on the roadway where it does good not harm.
Cheers
