Fog lights are high intensity light bulbs, thus their lifespan are not as long as your normal headlamps. Thus it is advisable to use only when visibility is low, such as when it rains, there is fog or no street lamps. You must have used yours a lot as suggested by the 2 previous posters. :D

(test pasted below for easy reference)

Why is the use of fog lamps allowed only during adverse weather conditions?   
Under normal weather conditions, be it in the day or at night, there is no need to switch on the fog lamps. This is because the light emitted from vehicle headlamps is sufficient to illuminate the road ahead. Switching on front fog lamps will not further improve forward vision under clear weather conditions. Some drivers have provided feedback that front fog lamps, when switched on indiscriminately, are intimidating and cause added stress to the driver in front. Switching on rear fog lamps unnecessarily may also cause confusion to motorists travelling behind you as the intense red light emitted could be mistaken as the brake light.
Be safe. Go with the flo.

Not sure abt Latio fog light, my previous ride toyota altis also had fog light..,...i used them quite a lot...and by the time i sold it which is almost 3 yrs old...they are still working fine....i dun think the life span of fog light is short....they should be quite lasting.....anyway, like wat  most guys here said, it can be quite irritating to other drivers when u turn it on indiscriminately....
If you r not part of a solution, don't be part of the problem...
