is there a way to adjust fog's light beam?

- Tue May 05, 2009 4:54 am #114951 while my car was at the paint shop, fixing some electrical problem caused when they put the rear part of the car together, a fuse melted so i was without lights in the tail and in the interior, while in the shop, my HID where stolen so i had to drive my car in the dark back home only with the fogs i installed in this week, so i did not had the chance of testing them in the night and i noticed they are like a luxury only, cuz i cant see nothing with them in the dark!

Is there a way to adjust the light beam to go higher?

PD: The paint shop is going to pay for my HID, i wanted to put 3,000k instead of the 8,000k i had, so now i don't need to buy a new pair of bulbs :hehe: :roll:

wait if you have to adjust them from the rear, how will you know if they are level and aimed properly, cause you'd have to take the bumper off wouldn't ya? or are they accessable from the front by removing the cover?
