There's no cutoff shots there in that pic. Not to mention the camera picture quality 
However, I will mention that it is likely mostly for looks. Not saying that it doesn't look great, but those fogs are still too narrow and too small to really effectively cut through adverse conditions

Not exactly, I am looking for output pictures illustrating how the light shines on the road.
Specifically Beam pattern pictures.
To my limited knowledge, fog lights aren't really supposed to follow the headlight pattern, instead they are meant to widen the range of view and focus clearly on the road directly in front.

They actually work fantastic for me.
The projector fogs come installed with 4300K Osram bulbs, directly from Lexus..
Perfectly matched to the 4300K Head light bulbs..
They do a great job widening the pattern of the headlights.
My cut off line falls just under the head light lines against a wall.
After I lowered my car, I raised them up a bit to better light up the road ahead.
I'm still trying to crack the code for Fog Lights ON and Head Lights OFF..
These are the only pics I have at the moment.. (Fogs ON)

We worked on it this past Saturday with a Techstream Laptop for a while and
did not find anything when we got to the different Regional settings..
I did change easy stuff like mph to km and F to C, but couldn't find the lighting settings for those regions.
When we were done digging around, we changed all the settings back to US spec.

Joe Z,
If you get a chance could you snap a quick wall pick to show where the beam patterns match.
I'm trying to figure if the pattern will look like:
or:
LOL, I know the illustration above isn't very good..
Basically, I'm trying to understand if the step's line up, or if the foglights step is futher apart.

Nice... I have to hunt down a perfectly clean white wall for this one.......
I will try my best to find level ground with a clean wall..
