Given that most American's can't figure out when to use front fog lights, I fully understand that the more dangerous rears are disabled, and I sincerely hope that those of you who do the mod won't turn them on in mild fog, rain or snow, and be extra hesitant to turn them on after sunset.
Can you see more than one car in front of you? Turn off the front fog lights.
Can you see more than the lights of the car in front of you? Turn off the rear fog lights.
Is it pitch black? Turn off the rear fog lights.

Excellent point. I used them a few times when I worked in Frankfurt and the fog was extremely thick at dusk and dawn. But around here and when I lived in California, the yahoos driving Jags and Audii with them lit up on clear nights is really annoying. Jags have some absurdly bright ones, they're brighter than their engaged brake lights, which really doesn't seem like a good idea.
