Not that it makes it brighter, It makes the beam wider ...

It just fans out the glow and helps eliminate "hot spots" or "bright dots" in certain applications
I had them in my door hand holds , by sanding they went from two dots reflected on the opposite side to a good general glow

Superflux LEDs already have a super wide viewing angle. For fog lights, there'd be no need.
