Is that the Fog lamp located on the lower portion of the bumper or is it the actual headlamp with where the lowbeams and highbeams are located?

Thanks
Ron

It is the lower light - NOT a headlamp; hopefully I got a picture to upload.

You needn't go all the way to the "frozen north" to find one, but they are handy to light your way to spelling class.

From Wikipedia: Front fog lamps

Front fog lamps provide a wide, bar-shaped beam of light with a sharp cutoff at the top, and are generally aimed and mounted low.[10][11][12] They may be either white or selective yellow. They are intended for use at low speed to increase the illumination directed towards the road surface and verges in conditions of poor visibility due to rain, fog, dust or snow. As such, they are often most effectively used in place of dipped-beam headlamps, reducing the glareback from fog or falling snow, although the legality varies by jurisdiction of using front fog lamps without low beam headlamps.
Use of the front fog lamps when visibility is not seriously reduced is often prohibited (for example in the United Kingdom), as they can cause increased glare to other drivers, particularly in wet pavement conditions, as well as harming the driver's own vision due to excessive foreground illumination.[13]
The respective purposes of front fog lamps and driving lamps are often confused, due in part to the misconception that fog lamps are necessarily selective yellow, while any auxiliary lamp that makes white light is a driving lamp. Automakers and aftermarket parts and accessories suppliers frequently refer interchangeably to "fog lamps" and "driving lamps" (or "fog/driving lamps"). In most countries, weather conditions rarely necessitate the use of fog lamps, and there is no legal requirement for them, so their primary purpose is frequently cosmetic. They are often available as optional extras or only on higher trim levels of many cars. Studies have shown that in North America more people inappropriately use their fog lamps in dry weather than use them properly in poor weather.[14]

That was just my failed attempt at humor. It works sometimes, and fails miserably on other occasions. Canadians are required to have daytime running lights, and I believe do refer to them as driving lights. I thought it was a bit unusual for someone south of the Canadian border to refer to fog lights as driving lights. Hopefully, you did not take me too seriously. BTW, I am fairly articulate for an old codger.

LOL..... but I guess the reader could choose how to interpret my meaning of articulate. Did I mean that I am able to express myself easily in clear and effective language, or was I merely stating that my anatomy consists of sections united by joints. If one chooses not to believe the former.... Then I will settle for the latter.

Not a problem - I just thought that was how y'all talked in the Air Farce!
I actually learned that driving lights can be either yellow or white; I always thought that fog lights were always yellow.

I do - Sorry I've been out of touch for the past few days (dropped my motorcycle into a ditch); send me a PM or email if you're still interested.

Pictures of the FOG LIGHT (as BMorgan pointed out - it is not a driving light) are posted in my gallery.
