Don't mean to be a jerk, but... If you've got your headlights on plus your
fog lights in clear weather at night you are a dumbass as far as I know.
Your fog lights throw a much wider light path which will necessarily blind
oncoming drivers when the weather is clear. I always thought this kind of
irresponsibility was reserved for beemer and jap car drivers... I'll tell
you plain, if it's a clear night and your on some old dirt road in VT and
don't turn those fog lights off when a vehicle approaches, you'll run the
risk of having 'em shot out... No Bull!

Now if your talking about using your fog lights, instead of your
headlights, during daylight hours when the weather is overcast, rainy,
foggy or whatever --my most sincere apologies for the 'tude!

Anyway, assuming the best and to answer your question... There is an
adjustment screw inside the foglight housing for vertical adjustment. The
sighting range is 7.62 meters or 25 feet and the light should project a
pattern 4" below the fog light centerline (floor to center of foglight).

Flame away if you like.

Does anyone know how to adjust the fog lights on 97-up Daks? When I pull
up to my garage I notice that one side is higher than the other (don't
remember which one). I have been flashed a few times (you know, the old
"you've got your high beams on, dumbass!" flash), and don't want to be
blinding people. I don't know if they are correct for horizontal
movement, but vertical is definetly off. Any help appreciated.
