    BLUF: Can I "align' my fogs? I'm looking to aim them slightly lower due to my lift they're "slightly" off in the their beams which is far too high. Thanks for any info..

    Looked good on the wall but I've noticed several times that my fogs light up peoples faces in passing vehicles as I turn onto a road where they're at a stop sign.

    Before tightening those screws, I tilted my fogs down as much as I could then tightened everything up. Havent had anyone flash me and they've been mounted for several months now.

    I just installed mine last weekend and have the same issue. They are lighting up the trees around me and mine are aimed significantly lower than yours on the wall. I am going to adjust them this weekend. I'm also going to zip tie them onto the bumper frame because every time I hit a bump, they are moving around. I think it's because they are so much heavier than the stock fogs and they are just held into the bumper by some clips and they aren't tight at all.

    Yeah when I'm driving down a road with reflective road signs, it looks like an emergency vehicle is coming from them bouncing. LMAO.

    I'm lifted 6" so I'm not sure if that's why mine is a lot higher as well.

    If you mount the light into the bracket in its furthest most back position, you have much more range of motion up and down to move the light. Make sure you snug the screws up pretty good before you install them. You’ll still be able to manipulate the light with your hand even with the screws tight.

    The fog light bounce is TURRIBLE.

    Before using the adjustment screw to angle them down I would use some zip ties to secure them from the bottom, which would pull them down. Might need a combination of both with a 6" lift.

    Yeah once I get out of the field in a week I'm going to give this a whirl before old man Winter shows up.
