Fog lights need major adjustment

Hey all...

I'm (and for that matter my wife) an extremely happy 08 Fit Sport owner. I noticed a few months ago that my fog lights are aimed like crap.

Can anyone offer some ideas on this?

There's a little screw you turn to adjust the fog lights. Just take the foglights out, adjust, test, repeat.

Agree on taking the foglight out to locate the adjusting screw. However once you've located it you will probably be able to find it with your fingers. That means you can lay on the ground next to the car and adjust the lights 'in situ' via a conveniently located hole in the underpanel, which I personally find to be a faster and more accurate way to adjust the fogs.

As for where to aim them: I ran mine up until they were as close to dead level as I could manage with a string level in a gravel driveway. The result is more useable visibility, with no 'kickback' problems in fog, and no problems with blinding other drivers.

The lights are definitely better after adjustment, and I do recommend adjusting them. But in truth the fogs are a bit weak, so don't expect miracles.
