As i can only write an opinion of the interpretation and despite that this has been mentioned on here I would take it that any interferance of the placement or operation contravenes the rules. Try telling a cop who knows the car model that you shifted the DRls to the fogs and he may not care He may ping you for having your fogs on on a fine day and quite rightly so.
As already said the inappropriate use of fogs is covered in the Road rules of each State.
ADR's cover the design and specifications of placement in a car body , not when and where you use the different bits.
However there was a thread on here about disabling them permanently and from what I remember it was stated that it was illegal to do so after that poster had researched the question with authorities.
The thread was about cancelling them for appearance sake. How stupid is that You cant see them yourself and they are there to allow the car to be seen more easily.
In Canada the sidelights are permanently on and you arent allowed to disable them. A sensible solution to a known problem.
Now all we need to do is get people to turn their headloghts on in the dark as some think it isnt necessary.
I used to like to do things to my cars to supposedly make them better but now I just buy it and drive it and presume the makers know why and what they are doing. But there is always those that are never happy with what they have.
