I was actually pulled over in MA for having just my Foggers on!
It was overcast so I pulled my parking lights on (subsequently the
foggers). "You can't substitute you headlights with fog lights son"

1. I'm not your son.
2. It's not 1/2 after sundown. Last time I checked that was the law.

Well, my military ID is above my license in my wallet.

I've gotten outta a bunch of citations because of that.
(And a nice window sticker that says "INFANTRY" :)

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.
