How can i adjust my stock foglights to aim higher. I put PIAA super white bulbs in my fog lights and i need to aim them up more. how do i do this?


Erik Raab

why?

I don't think you can aim fog lights. I thought they were suppose to hit the ground anyhow, that way you see the road when foggy...

There is a screw that aims them. If I'm not mistaken we have the directions on our Scoobymods.com site.

My fog lights, stock, came pointed straight down, and sucked. On the mount of the light, the four corners, three of them screw into the bumper to hold it on...and the 4th is an adjustment screw. Just play with it..but don't aim too high...you'll piss off other drivers. And high aiming foglights are useless in the fog. ;)

Check there.

Proper aiming method:

The key is to aim them properly.
Otherwise you run the risk of getting your A$$ BEAT.

And my GF's bro-in-law is a cop and he will cite you for improperly adjusted lights. :)

I would rather aim my fog lights high so i can see and get a ticketr due to the fact i live in the woods rather then hit deer, cats, people, etc, theres also something called a switch so you can turn them off when cars are coming. lol.

Yeah but it's like using a phillips screwdrive to take out a torx bit.

It might work, but it's the wrong tool for the job.

Get a set of decent driving lights (read: not the mega-hip-phat-yo 1" lense PIAA/PILOT/whatever crap, get some Hella 500 or larger or PIAA XT80 pro...)
Get a driving light to use as a driving light. And wire them into your high beams, that way you won't have to hit two switches to turn them off when a car comes around the corner.

Does this also work with the WRX fogs? Although it's interesting. Since installing my Prodrive headlights, I haven't even gone near the fog switch.

It should work, it's really the same lamp, only the plug to the harness is different.

I agree, a fog lamp has a low wide beam. You'd be overdriving them; they are not made for long distances like driving lamps.
