G35 coupe foglights

Can the 06 coupe foglights be adjusted down?? I have the golden yellow hid kit for the fogs and i never use them because it blinds people..

The assembly as a whole is adjustable but not the individual fog lights.

Page 30 has location for the adjustment screws and direction on setting it properly.

The fog lights are integrated into the projector housing, everything adjusts as a unit I think. It's odd that your fogs are blinding drivers, they're supposed to be aimed down at the corners of the road so you can see the lane side markers clearly.

Frankie, hate to be frank but fog lights are all about scattered blinding light in front of the car.

If you don't want it to blast people get an H1 halogen projector off Amazon and retrofit that I.

Most factory lamp assemblies have a diffuser across the top of the fog lamp to prevent light from shining everywhere, it only needs to be directed at the close outboard edges of the vehicle. Contrary to popular belief a fog light doesn't "illuminate through the fog" or get mounted so low that it "illuminates under the fog" or any other non-scientific blabber. It's purpose is to illuminate the EDGES OF THE ROAD so you can see the lane indicators better and not drift laterally in the road.

If u download the fsm for 06 g35 look at the light section. Where it shows u to adjust the projector there's an adjuster above it. That should be the fog light adjust ****. For whatever reason the fsm doesn't mention it I guess they don't want people fiddling with it IDK

You can adjust its vertical position, but you can't change the fact it's designed like a high beam reflector.

All I kno is that I adjusted the fog lights to be the height of low beams so I can drive at night with the fogs on and it would serve as my low beams.
