If they're below bumper level then they *are* foglights and must only be used in conditions of fog or bad visibility, on pain of a fixed penalty (£20 IIRC) notice.
And for your information, they don't make the car or the driver look "cool" (whatever that may mean) but merely a pillock.
They're also very dazzling, especially in heavy rain.
