To get rear-ended you only need a 'smart' guy following too close behind you. Fog is not required 
Example of Precision: Measure with a Micrometer, mark it with Chalk, and then cut it with an Axe.

Here are a couple of VS threads that address this saying that 2 rear fog lamps are not legal in some places.
I have no knowledge of the legal issues, but it is probably worth checking before proceeding.
