Mine either - I was asked if I wanted them, but said no as I had it booked for an ARB winch bar the following week anyway.

Spot on - that's all my fog lights ever get used for - not that there's a hell of a lot of fog between Perth & Kalgoorlie.

In Victoria the use of fog lights is prohibited except in thick fog, so they are not to be used as DRL's.
The OE fog lamps are useless as such, the Bi-Xenons do a much better job in thick fog. We get a lot of it in these parts and I do a lot of night time driving in the country.
There are DRL's that fit as a replacement in the fog lamp position made by several companies some of which are dual brightness for daytime (full brightness) and for night time (reduced brightness). These cost no more and I'm pretty sure a fair bit less than $600.
The mounting of the lights (DRL's) has to be between certain heights and certain distances from edge of vehicle so mounting on a roof rack would not comply. I'm intending to fit them to my 2012 D4 but will probably wait until I've fitted the front bar (ARB/OL) before deciding which type to get.
What I don't understand is why, when DRL's are now standard in EU countries, doesn't LR modify the individual LED's in the signature lights to make them of useful brightness so as they can be DRL's????
