Anybody know how to adjust fog light, the kind that fit with a bracket on the bumper braces? This is on a '40. Mine give off light fine but direct it to the top of the trees!
Thanks

Yes.

I wasn't actually gonna write any more, but 'tis the season to, etc., so here it is: There's a nut you can see from behind the light down low on the housing. Loosen it off thoroughly, tilt the light downward while pulling up on the bezel. Tighten the nut and check the aim, then repeat until you're satisfied.

25 feet from a wall on level ground, measure up to the center of your fog light. Make 2 marks this height on the wall and center your beam on the marks.

Thanks blu, but my problem is I don't see how to make the adjustment. Everything looks fixed to me.

Guess I was spacing yesterday and didn't notice your post hotshoe36. I'll give it a try. With both yours and blu 64 posts, I should be good to go. Thanks!

I wish all of the idiots that like to run fog lights all the time would follow that advise. I get SO tired of being blinded by out-of-adjustment fog lights. :mad:

Tiny, just get a big spotlight, that makes them turn the dam foglights off pretty quick. Brian
