Foglight adjustment?

[TitaniumSpd]

How do I adjust the beam level of the fog lights? The one on the passengers side is so low its pointless to even be on. I thought it might be that little 10mm bolt thats visible from the outside but that didn't seem to do anything. Hoping for an answer by the time this rain stops so I can get out and do it (rei)

I dont believe there is actual height adjustments like headlights.
Some people just bend the shielding away from the bulb housing so there is more light output, keep in mind this will be a general light wash, not directional to the ground.

you can try bending it just a bit so that it reveals more lighting to the ground?
To do this, remove the foglight bulb, stick a screw driver through the opening, and torque whichever way you want to bend it.
GL! and be careful

i was hoping there was an easy way to do it but I guess I'll just have to take a look at it tomorrow when the rain stops

well lmk if you find any easy adjustments. aside from that shield tweaking, research is showing nothing and i've never looked closely myself.

You have to remove the black shroud around the foglights first. Then u will see a gray 10mm bolt on the bottom of the light. Remove that bolt.
The fog light should be able to move freely now for adjustment. However to set the adjustment, move the foglight out of the way and you will see the hole where you removed the bolt.
On both sides of it(bolt hole) is thin plastic that you have to break so that it can adjust. Once you break the tabs it the hole is now oblong(giving you adjustment) ( o ) < looks like this before. Looks like this after ( )

The plastic is really easy to remove to make it oblong, just use a screwdriver. This is all off the top of my head so... i cant recall but you may have to loosen the side bolts of the light to gain access to the lower bolt to break the tabs.

Once you do all this, reinstall everything, slap back on the black shroud, dont tighten the lower bolt too tight. You can adjust it now with an open wrench.
Go find a wall and adjust the fogs properly. Internet search on how to for that, i cant remember...

Let me if my instructions were accurate.
