Question about aiming factory fog lights

Hey guys, I have a question about aiming the factory fog lights...

I searched on the forums, and everyone says there is an adjustment screw behind the fogs. Is this screw actually on the fog lights, or is it on the bracket that holds the lights? I can't seem to find an adjustment screw of any kind... I don't think it's on the bracket anywhere, because the bracket looks like it's pretty much just stationary......

If anybody could describe what I should be looking for, it would be great. One of my fog lights is aimed too high and I'm getting flashed by other drivers all the time.

It's on the back of the fog lamp housing, not the bracket nor inside the lamp. You'll find a recessed plastic adjustment screw. Turn the screw slowly and in small turns. It's really easy to throw off the aim if you turn too much.

I think clockwise is up and anticlockwise is down. I hope this helps.
