Anyway to "aim" foglights??

Is there any way to reaim foglights?? My passenger side foglight shines alot lower then my driver side, so I wanted my driver side to shine the same as the otherside. Is there anyway to do this, becuase I did the fogligh rewire, and it ****es me off.

I looked through the search link you put up, and it didn't really help me on my 4th gen foglights.

Take the foglight out of the bumper and look on the back. There is a little screw or bolt that you turn to aim the light. I think its sensitive so be careful. Its a pain because you have to reattach the foglight to the bumper before you see what the adjustment did. If you need more instructions I can scan the sheet that came with my OEM foglights that show how to aim them and all if I can find it.

hmm i just want to clear something up quickly...


when you say the screw you turn to aim the foglight...
is the screw on the back of the actual foglight piece? or
on the bracket holding it up?

I know theres one screw on the back of the fog light piece itself,
but i was weary of touching it... and there are 3 screws holding up the cage which the fog light is attached to.

hopefully i can get that cleared up

thanks

This is what I follow.
IIRC counter cloc

Q: I have a 4th gen Maxima with the OEM foglights, but they're aimed too low. How do I re-aim them?

A: Next to each of your foglights there's a piece of black plastic held there by a plastic screw. Remove this and
you'll see two 10 mm hex bolts. Remove these and you can pull out the foglight. Don't forget to remove the wiring
harness from the back of the foglight before completely yanking it from the bumper. You will notice an 8 mm hex
bolt on the back of the foglight. Try just a small move at first. The adjustment is pretty sensitive.
