help aiming foglights (require removal of bumper)

Going back to norcal in 12/26 - 1/2. Anyone mind helping out aiming my foglights ? I have a quad projector retrofit, the lowbeams are aimed properly but the fogs are too far off.

Appreciate any help i can get.

Are the fogs too low? Do you have easy access to adjustment like the 06+ OEM projectors.

I don't think it has one since they are a reflector housing. There really isn't much to move.

Andy's car is the first time I heard of a fog light aiming too high. Maybe the reflector housing didn't go in right when you put all the housings back together. I don't even know if thats possible.

Don't even mention anything other than a Phillips 85122+ or he will tell you you are losing at least 25% light output.

i told you on friday, the bulb is out of place. u can see the bulb sideways and pointing up. if the reflector housing didnt go in the thing wouldnt snap in and close together

isnt the fog bulb one of those 3 prong bulbs that lock into place?

should be no problem. you may have to remove the wheel to make the job easier, but you shouldn't have to remove the light.
