WRONG. driving lamps can also be fitted below the bumper level,

You could well be right, but fog lamps are designated as being focussed
lamps whose centre is less than 24 inches from the ground. Colour of
light does not come into it.

depends on the height of the bumper. The C&U regulations used to specify
that the centre of the lamp had to be 24" above ground to avoid being
classed as fog light. I've no reason to believe this has changed.
If it has been changed, it will only be to accommodate the change from
inches to CMs.

do you happen to know if there are restrictions on how close to the
front of the car headlights have to be?

Usually in front of any metal bits at the front of the car, so as to
cause the lights to shine forwards.

It seems to me there may be aerodynamic restrictions caused just by
light regulations.
