[W126 Coupe] fog lights

[Mister McGoo]

Jack;
 
What constitutes "fog lamps"?  My '83 SEC has a pair of white lights set under the bumper that are supposed to flare outwards and illuminate the edges of the road.  They are pitiful at doing so.  I can't imagine why they would be "illegal".  I can't even tell when they are on!  
 
I have an '83 SE European and the "fog lamps" are set behind the same lens as the headlamps.  The function is the same and they are terrific.  I have excellent wide angle illumination.
 
I gave up on the SEC fog lamps.  I use 100/80W H4's in my headlamps, same as I have for years in the SE.  That gets all the distance I need, and more.  I never use the "fog lamps".

It is illegal to use fog lights in this fogless part of OZ,  (West), so I would like to replace mine with long distance driving lights to enable me to see the kangaroos & bulls in time to avoid them.
Does anyone know of a product that will fit the same space, please? Hella & Narva are popular brands here.  Thanks, Jack OZ.
