I don't know if it's illegal to have both high beams and fogs on at the
same time everywhere ... you'd have to check with your state's/province's
traffic statues. The practical reason is that you would not want to
have both on at the same time. The fogs are a way to light up what is
on the ROAD that immediately in front of you and not reflect back to
your eyes from the water droplets (fog). High beams are aimed for
distance far from in front of you. This would really reflect back
into your eyes.
