vertical fog lights??

virtualmotion · 12-01-2001, 01:33 PM

Iam not exactly sure when the fog lights started doing this. At one point the car had an "incident" with the front bumper. I suspect it occured when the body shop fixed it. Is there any way to easily correct this with out bringing it back in and what exactly is wrong with it? (those really tall lines of light appear when the fog lights are activated)
Thanks,
Jason

Sorry this isn't very constructive but, that's pretty sweet!
have you tried rotating the relector housing 90 degrees?

The body shop installed the fog lamps incorrectly. Take a look at them... I'm willing to bet that it says "Subaru" on the side of the lens. The logo is supposted to be across the bottom of the lens. Just take out the fogs and bolt them back in correctly.

your right, it does say subaru on the side!! (it does kinda look cool, but when your driving, those things get really really tall and its kinda annoying, hehe) I see some screws on there (they look pretty tuff to get out though). Is that what I need to take off or is there somthing else?
Thanks,
Jason

Yup, the screws are the only thing holding them in. They are very easy to remove.

Be careful, there are only three screws that mount them to the car. The fourth one is for reflector adjustment!

on the back of the light it says whether it is the right or left side.....they are angled differently......one of the texas guys had a body shop give him two passenger side fogs, and even wedged the passenger on the driver side.
