Front fogs -> headlights change?

I figure the front fogs in the car are pretty pointless, dont think they would actually make you much more visible in the fog anyway !

 

Wondered if it was possible to swap the foglight bulb for another dipped beam bulb giving you 4 of them altogether? Just thought it might give you better regular headlights ?

Fog lights and dipped beam both use 55w bulbs so there is no difference in brightness. The dipped beam projector lens is bigger and has a different shaped mask to produce the angled cut off beam pattern. It would be difficult to modify the fog light unit to produce this pattern as the projectors are sealed units.

Just switch them both on together if you must.
