Fog Light Adjustment?

[Gman]

I just took these pics

Do you happen to remember if it's just a Phillips screwdriver for the adjustment, or if it's a hex/torx? And did you do your adjustments with the lights shining on a wall or the lights pointed down the road?

It's a Phillips screwdriver. Use the short handle one easy to do. I did it right on the street. After adjustment I turned on headlights. They point down right below the low beam pattern.

I did this soon after I bought the car, the lights from factory point straight down and do nothing at all. I adjusted them all the way up and then turned them back down about 1.5 turns.

This is what is looks like standing right by the door open, and second pic in the driver seat only these on, no headlights at all. I have never been flashed.

I can't see the pictures on my phone so I'll have to glance at them on my PC later. What did you find to be the easiest way to gain access to the adjustment screws?

Turn wheel all the way left or right and open the little door in the splash shield. There are three push in pins.

Little white X's in black squares on my computer this morning as well.

But I agree in principle with what Gman posted even if all you do is raise them up until somebody does flash the high beams at you and then bring them down just a little.

I'd even stagger the vertical aims slightly, with the right side just a little higher than the left.

I can see the pictures now. Wow what a difference! I'll be taking care of that before I head out of town for a long weekend. Thanks for all the help!

I took the fog lights out (while the bumper was off doing something else) and put a washer under the top screw holding them in (pulling them up higher). Also LaminX'd them yellow...never have heard a complaint (nor been flashed).

*** I didn't know about the adjustment screw at the time***
