this may be a newb quesiton, but one of my foglights is aimed really low, and i cant seem to figure out how to aim it higher, so if anyone can help me, cool, if anyone wants to flame me, go for it, i really couldnt care less, youre not gonna make my day any worse. by the way, 1997 SE, stock fogs.

 

I'm going to ******* flame the living.... j/k

Good question. I have not ever though about aiming my fogs. However, my guess is that you might want to consider adding more washers to the bottom screw/nut (there are two). That way your fog will point more upward. Get what I mean?

Another way is perhaps to dig deep inside where the fog bracket is. Maybe you can somehow adjust it. Maybe even tilt it with force. I know for a fact that the bracket is a POS metal that you can twist with your hands if you put enough force into it. Just remember that the little plastic covers may no longer fit then.

 

i think that the washer idea would work. I've never had to aim my fogs, i rarely use them anyways. they dont look good with HIDs. try putting washers around the lower nut and see how that works out

 

thanks guys, im gonna try that out tonight.

 

i had the same problem...i dunno how i fixed it but now my drivers lamp, (which was aimed at the ground) seems to be shooting straight after i changed the bulb. Maybe the bulb wasn't sitting in the housing correctly. Have you tried messing around w/ the bulb?

 

no, havent tried messing with the bulb, and i didnt notice it aimed low till i changed the bulbs, however, thats probably cause the bulb was out before, but i will try messing with the bulb, and if that doesnt work, ill use some washers.

 

There is a aiming screw on the back side of the fog light housing. This controls the reflector angle to allowing for aiming changes up and down. It may not seem like it is doing anything but keep turning the screw as you will eventually start to see a change in the angle of the light.

 

meanbean, wat kind of fogs do u have and where? i like
*thumbs up*

 

Thanks, they are stock fog light housing w/ Xtec 6000k H3 HIDs.

 

lol i wouldnt know that... i dont have fogs, but a kind orger is helping me with that so dont worry, ur getting ice cold copied lol

 

Fog light adjustment is in the owner's manual I believe, just like headlight adjustment, you lazy ****s. All of you.

 

You need to chill with your negative comments. Some people may not have the resources or knowledge that you have so they come here and ask for help. If you took the time to actually read through all of the posts here then you would have known that I had already answered his question. So this shows that you really are the "lazy ****s" for not reading.

 

somehow, that comment seemed more like harmless sarcasm than anything serious. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

 

At least someone understands. I read your post but I was pointing out that it's in the owner's manual as well. Once you realize that most people here overlook the owner's manual, which I'm sure 99% of all the members have, you'd realize that my post was just a harmless remark. Whatever you think of me, in my flames I don't name call so I thought that would make you see it was a comment to everyone, not just him.

 

Just about every fcking question in the 4th gen forum is in the Stickies or Owners manual...

 

Amen to that.

 

Are the brackets at all the same for 95-96 fogs? When I took off my fog light housing, since it sits like a half inch behind the bumper, I did not see bolts where I would be able to just "add" washers to get it flush, and I ended up breaking two bolts in the process. I gave up, but now I'm curious to see this answer.
edit: I had asked this very same question pretty recently, and had gotten the washer response.

 

 

^^ not in my owners manual, i just went out and had a look, it said NOTHING about foglight adjustment, neither did my haynes manual. i understand a lot of people ask extremely stupid/repedative questions, but ive never seen this asked before, and i couldnt find the info anywhere else, but in anycase, thanks for all the help guys.

 

Yo Dave, Ima put that in the FAQs. DO NOT delete the pic off photobuck

 

I don't delete anything from PB. Just so you know that's for the 97-99 maximas. I think the 96 is different, I'll post it as well if you want.


n/m, same thing.

 

Sure I will tell Ben to add it too.

 

A lot of people here have a bad attitude towards people asking questions to things "they" already know but don't feel like sharing their knowledge to the ones that don't. Instead of assistance, they provide insults or put downs to the people just looking for a helping hand. I thought you were coming from this direction. My bad for the misunderstanding.

 

I usually do but not this time. That's why I put the "lazy ****s, all of you" in there.
