fog light aim

[09SMOKINHEMI]

anyone out there have any pics of how their projector fog lights shine against a white wall so that I know how to aim mine? or even if they're not projector, so that i know how high/low to aim them.

Seeing this reminds me I need to aim mine. They are pointed so low they don't even do me any good.

bet it's a snap to do it on yours since it's lifted huh..... that's one of the things that sucks on lowered vehicles

 

[Musclemckeester]

It's easy enough to do, I just don't normally think about it. My heads provide enough output really, I just run the fogs for aesthetics. haha

lol i hear ya..... i just remembered since it was a foggy day outside

What I do is measure from the ground to the center of the light then park on a level surface approx. 25ft from a flat wall and try to put the center of the light beam at your measured height. Same method as adjusting headlights bascially.

 

[09SMOKINHEMI]

right, but at what height would be good for the fogs?

guess i'm not understanding. do you mean measure next to my truck, from the ground to the fog light, then measure that same amount from the ground up and mark it on the wall?

@OP: I think I get what you're saying. When parking & measuring 25ft back for headlights you want the beams to measure about 2" DOWN from the measured height, and are wondering if we shouldn't aim the fogs down a certain distance as well?

I think i get it now

Yeah, I'd do a 1-2" drop on the fogs.

sorry i know this has been posted but just wanna make sure i get this right you measure from the floor to the light then park 25 ft away and mark what you measured on the wall and get your lights to be there just a 1 or 2" below? and this will work for headlights also?

 

[09SMOKINHEMI]

yes, that's how i understood it

 

[0212353]

bingo

Sorry I wasn't more clear, but yeah you got it now.

I don't on the fogs because my truck is low as hell haha.

Good clarification for those of us at stock height. It would be something to consider for anyone levelled one way or the other as well.

 

[0212353]

yeah, eyeball it. that low, you guys can do less of a drop.

 

[SILVER_BULLET]

do the fogs adjust like the headlights by turning the bolts?

there is a white dial on the bottom, just turn that with your fingers.
