There is absolutely no point in using both in fog. The idea of low mounted
fog lights is they cut beneath the fog and light the road.

The original "aim" was to pick out the kerb with the left one, and
the lane marking with the right one, nearer to the car than the
dip beam headlamps will effectively light. Nowadays, they're rather
more cosmetic than functional, and often can't even be adjusted to
aim/cutoff correctly.

Headlights as well will just produce scatter and blind you.

Can do, depending on conditions, but not always.
