Yes: those grill mounted fogs sound like a great solution.

As an aside - not unique to Rivian: same issue with our Range Rover LEDs: thankfully I had a passenger with me that could keep an eye on the edge of I80 and help guide me!

I had this same problem driving at night to Tahoe on I80 in a mild snowstorm and before chain restrictions (so traffic was moving faster), and I could not see the road (just super white snow flakes) and had to try to follow other cars. The Rivian headlights are too high and white and make the snow flakes blinding. My previous Subaru never had this problem. I pulled over and called Rivian roadside assistance only to learn for the first time that the car has no front fog lights (only rear fog lights). I'm considering adding the Morimoto 2Banger yellow wide angle fog lights on the grill as mentioned by another post.
Frightening that the Gen 2 doesn't even have front fog lights... a questionable cost saving measure.
