Fog light adjustment
How do you aim the fog/high beam? I have searched and searched but came up with nothing as far as the fog/high beam.
I've tried looking at service manuals, but it doesnt show much. It shows using a screwdriver to adjust in 2 spots. Well the top hole adjusts the low beam/HID housing, but the bottom hole that it shows is different and doesnt have the gears in there? All I have is a rubber cap over a bolt that there is no possible way to get to without taking the entire housing out of the car.
DO NOT send me the link for the DIY 06 Projector Aiming thread that everyone seems to be so quick to reply with. It wont do me any good since I dont have 06 projectors!

bump ..
I've read in some places that adjusting the low beam adjusts the fog lights as well .. I've also read that there are separate places to adjust the lights .. just yesterday my friend told me that one of my fog lights looks dimmer than the other and I can tell that one is higher than the other so I'm assuming that's why it appears "dim" .. bulbs are only a few months old and are Nokya 2500K .. is the adjustment easy to spot or is it connected to the low beam ?? thanks to whoever answers

You have to look closely, but there are two access holes in the housing of headlights along the black trim that follows the clear portion of the headlights. The top one is for the low-beam HID and the bottom one is for you fog/high beam.
You'll need a long shaft phillips head screw driver to make the adjustment and I am not kidding when I say long shaft.

It depends on the year car.
06+ have two spots to use the screw driver, one for up down, one for side to side.
03-05 only have one spot to use the screw driver and thats for up down only. There is a rubber cap that covers a adjustment bolt (8mm I think) for side to side movemnet. it's in the same spot as the 06+ headlights, but it is not the screw driver type.
However, I just had my lights apart, and the reflectors that control aim are all one piece, so there is no seperate adjustment for low beam and high beam. Adjust one, and it adjusts the other as well.
