Um, that is
exactly what fog lights are supposed to do, so in that case yours are working perfectly!
Fogs should only be used if you are getting glare from your dipped beam from thick fog or possibly falling snow.
The fog lights are designed to lilluminate the edges of the road so you can make slow, safe progress. Remember, you need to be able to stop well withing the distance you can see to be clear, so if the fog is that thick...
Also, fog lights should not really light up the road ahead of you, that would be dangerous as it would over illuminate your foreground and would stop you seeing far.
