It is illegal to have fogs on (front or back) if there is more than 150 metres of visibility in the UK

Federal DOT regulation- total watts of hig beams + fogs is over the legal limit. All vehicles are supposed to be wired this way in the US

Has been normal on German vehicles since at least the 70's!

Yes you can ... You need to re-code the LCM.
