Our fog lights can be aimed!!

Just to let you guys know, I do understand what fog lights are for, and how they are supposed to be used. However, my lights seemed like they were really only lighting up 5 ft in front of my truck. That didn't seem right to me.

I was doing some internet searching, and ran across some forum where a tech at a dealership stated that when cars are built, their lights are not always aimed correctly, so everytime a new car arrived at his dealership, he would take the time to aim them. He said that a lot of times they would fall out of aim during transit.

Thinking that this may have happened to my runner, I did the test for aiming (parking 25ft from a wall) and looked at my lights. My fogs didn't hit the wall, they hit the ground!

I figured that there had to be an adjustment, and I found it!!! On the back of each fog light housing, there is a bolt-looking thing. It has a 8mm bolt head, and a large flange around it. I started to tighten it, and sure enough, my fog lights raised up! I aimed them according to PIAA's website, and when I drove last night, it made a world of difference!!

Just thought that everyone would like to know that our fog lights can
be aimed!
