Aiming foglights

[Aurora44]

Can someone fill me in as to how do you aim the foglights? It was odd i noticed the right one was out, i replaced it and now left one is aimed way up. I have no idea how it got like that they have always been aimed fine until now. If someone can fill me in on this that would be great, thanks.

There is no adjustment for the fog lamps.
They just screw into the front fascia. Perhaps
you got one of the nuts loose or something.
The fascia is pretty much the whole front
nose piece, and it is all one piece.

I am reading from the shop manual here, and
it shows the housing attached with two
nuts, one per side of a fog lamp, through the
front of the fascia. The bulbs can get put in
wrong and be crooked inside the housing, so
check and make sure that the bulb is
seated right. If not, it wouldn't last long
anyway. It has to be seated right to get
the seal ring in place, otherwise all kind
of road crud will get in there.

Good Luck,
GuMan

Thank you for the reply...An hour after I posted that I decided to jack her up in the drive way and look around. I took off the whole bottom plastic covering and made sure the bulb was in the house, and I am sure it is. After i couldn’t find any adjustment I pushed on the bottom of my right lens and it felt like it moved down and that it had springs involved. Now it looks my best option is the shim up above the lens so its pushed down so it hits the ground not other peoples eyes...Any other suggestions would be great.

Fog lamp housing is adjustable from behind. Adjustment screw will modify elevation.

Do you mind elaborating on that a bit more?
Thanks

There is a plastic thumb-screw adjacent to the lamp socket/connection on the back side of the housing (where you replace the bulb). This thumb-screw will adjust the fog lamp housing bracket with respect to the unit mounting bracket in a manner that will alter the fog lamp elevation with respect the the vehicle. I have placed two photos in my gallery for you to see the thumb screw's position as compared to the bulb connector on the back of the fog lamp unit. (The unit is removed from my vehicle.)

If you can't see the photos, give me an e-mail address and I'll send them.

Does that help? Picture paints a thousand words.
