Foglight pattern

banman · 01-23-2004, 01:50 AM

I recently got my car back from the bodyshop, where they replaced the front bumper. Now the foglight pattern looks weird - there's a very noticeable vertical beam in the pattern. Is it possible to mount the foglights 90 degrees the wrong way? It's definitely not the aiming, the pattern is there regardless of how the lights are aimed.

they COULD have mounted the left lamp on the right side and vice versa...

that would severely mess up the pattern

Yep.....it should say 'Subaru' at the bottom...not the side of the light.

yeah if the pattern is vertical, the fog is mounted on the wrong side....

Turns out the morons had swapped the left and right lights, and to make them fit, turned them 90 degrees. All better now
