The LED are used for the purpose of being seen, unlike the fogs that actually project light out in front for eluminate the road. In my opinion that LED lights, don't project nearly as much light maybe a 10th of what the fogs do. I would like to see a combination of the two, one a running lights and the fogs for driving. But the LED do look good.

Exactly right on the differences in function! Just being bright does not make a lamp optimal for fog. Although, I am becoming more convinced that the LEDs benefit from novelty, not better design. The more I look at them, other than just being new and different, the less attractive they seem versus a true fog lamp. But, I also much prefer the W211 to the new W212 E Class, so apparently I like classic design.
