Yup. This is 10000000000% true

High beams with or without lasers are not good to use to cut thru fog.

Our GLE 350 Benz has no fog lamps like all modern Benz vehicles and it is horrendous to near impossible to drive safely in foggy weather.

This is one reason why I want to get an X5 when the GLE350 lease ends this Fall.
I'm glad BMW kept the fog lamps but sad that off road ability is now a $4000 premium package option. A key point of buying or leasing these guzzlers is in case a zombie apocalypse breaks out they offer you the ability to escape into the deep woods. That and the occasion winter ski/summer hike weekend.

Fog lights (usually beamed low, as well as low beams, travel farther in fog due to their height / angle.
