It is recommended that you use low beams while driving in fog. The low beams are aimed slightly downward, and thus the light reflects downward off the water droplets in the fog and onto the ground ahead. Still, a small amount does reflect back to the driver's eyes, but not nearly so much as if the high beams are used.
IF your vehicle is equipped with "Fog Lights" then use them in addition to the low beams. The amber/or yellowish color of the fog lights does not reflect back as badly as white or blue light, and thus reduces glare and appears to provide better "penetration" of the fog.

When should the headlights be turned on?
Your headlights should be on whenever it will make a difference on the road. If you can look at the road and be able to tell that your headlights are on/off, then they should be on. Some states, such as New York, require headlights to be on when visibility is limited, such as in rain or fog, even in the day, regardless of whether or not you can see them on the road. In fact, one of the criteria for headlights is whether or not you are using your windshield wipers. At dusk or, in some states where mandated, when it is raining or foggy and you need to turn on your windshield wipers.
