It's illegal to use your fog lights (front or rear) when visibility is not 'seriously reduced'. Thats the only time they should be used. So I suppose you could say it was illegal to use more than one set of lights during the day, however if visibility was reduced for whatever reason during the day, and you put your fog lights on you won't get stuck on for it. You might get stopped though if you're driving through town with them on at night time just cos you think they look cool!
I do not use my foglights unless it is foggy and I do not see how I could see you more with a 21w or a 55w light more than with the sun.

Volvo lights are on because of the climate in sweden. It is dark for months at a time in certain parts. So they are on for safety in the darkness.
