Has anyone tried the xenon fog lights for the A6?

Drove in heavy fog on my way down to Port O'Connor.
Very bright, didn't really cut through the fog, but I have yet to see anything that really cuts through the fog effectively. The city lights(fogs) didn't really make a difference either.

Do you have xenon headlights?
I've driven in heavy fog with xenon headlights and the fog lamps are totally unneccessary. When I turned the fog lamps on, I had to do it a couple of times before I could discern any difference. And then they only added light a few feet in front of the car. Literally. I had to get out of the car to see that they only added light for about 5 - 6 feet in front of the car. I couldn't see it from the driver's seat.
Xenon fogs would only be an expensive addition. If you want them for the look then that's a different story.

My car will include xenon high & low beams, ...when it arrives (1st wk Dic.) :¬(
I just wanted to know if the addition of the xenon fog lights was a mod worth doing. My MB (xenon lows) NEEDS to have the fog lights turned on all the time because it allows me to see the BIG potholes right in front of the car and try to avoid them. Of course, where I live, if you are not driving very aware of them, you may end with a couple tires and wheels damaged with just a trip to the corner.

Same as Steve, used them going up to Tahoe. In the fog, the fog lights are useless... unless
you're driving on roads which have been salted/snowed on. While driving in Tahoe, it was hard to see the lane dividers and reflectors. So I was thinking brighter fogs would help illuminate the 3-5 ft right in front of the car so as to tell where the lane markers are, since the reflectors are too covered up to reflect the light.
Xenon Hi and Low... now that should be a rolling "lighthouse".
