Normal headlights create reflective glare in fog. True fog lights are aimed lower at the roadway directly in front and more dispersed. sometimes they are tinted yellow to reduce the glare. European cars usually have rear fog lights as well which are high intensity tail lights so someone approaching from behind will spot you sooner. Unfortunately a lot of drivers don't seem to have a clue and drive around with all the lights on all the time. On a clear night rear fogs are irritating to the car following you.

In regards to the Civic I'm not sure these are actual fog lights. If they were you should be able to turn them on independent of the headlights because that is how they would be used in actual fog.
