In rainy weather you are obliged to use the low-beam headlights, the fog lights will be used only in conditions of dense fog.

It must be known that motor vehicles are equipped, obligatorily, with red fog lights at the rear, their switching on is mandatory if driving in dense fog. But they can also be equipped with fog lights at the front, those at the front are also called front fog lights, equipping with these is not mandatory and switching them on is also not mandatory if driving in dense fog, even if they are part of the equipment of the motor vehicle. However, both types of fog lights, both the rear ones and the front ones, will be switched on only in conditions of dense fog.

For using the fog lights in conditions other than in dense fog, a contravention fine provided in class II and a number of 3 penalty points apply.
