And that's why you only use them when necessary like swng said.

Yeap, only when there's fog...

BTW. I hate when people drive with high beams and don't change to low when someone is driving their direction!!!

This is what you want to do: (it will be better if you have HID's)
1. Stop the car and drive aside of the road
2. wait for the car to pass you by
3. Turn on your high beams, fog lamps and any beams you might have on the car
4. smile!

All I want to buy is the shroud that goes around them so I can buy some PIAA or Hella driving lights to go there.

All I recall seeing was a chrome piece that goes over the factory piece.

On the hatchback, where is the switch to turn the fogs on? Is it part of the stalk or is it on the center console?

Fog light switch is part of the headlight stalk, a little further along the stalk near the middle.
