Fog lights are yellow or orange.
Driving lights are clear.

My lights on the front of the 34 are clear.


Wrong dude. Difference between fog lights and what I think you are referring to, Daytime Running Lights, is the light pattern. Fog lights are seperate to the headlights and MUST be either yellow or white, rear ones must be red. They are designed to improve visibility in poor conditions, and it is against Australian Road Rules to use them otherwise as the blind oncoming drivers.

Driving lights are used to supplement high beams and are wired to turn on when the high beams are switched on.

Daytime running lights, which is what I think you believe your lights to be, are lights that are wired to switch on when the engine starts and are designed to make the vehicle easier to see to other drivers, such as the LED lights and angel eyes on Audi´s/Beamers etc.

As your lights are on a seperate switch they are clearly fog lights. Just switch them off dude, they do nothing for you if it isn´t foggy but the do blind other drivers.
