Long story short, I need a picture of the beam pattern of the 2000-2001 maxima. My drivers side foglight has a nice flat beam when 2ft off of a wall. My passanger side looks like someone "****ed" on the ground with a flashlight and light "leaked" everywhere. Last time I aimed my lights they both had a nice pretty beam patter to them, now Robbins Nissan in Humble Tx (stupid people) are telling the body shop and I that as long as the fog light is on it is "within specs, operating normally." WTF?!?! If someone would be kind enough to take a picture of their fog light beam patter(prefferably at dark) about 2ft off of a wall so I can show these ~!#@$%$#% idiots what a "beam pattern" is it would be greatly appreciated. I will be 1 step closer to getting my car back finally.

 

The service manual shows the beam pattern reqs. I have 2k2, it might be different, but this is the jist of what it says:
With car on level surface and normal weight (including driver) park car 25ft from a screen. Adjust front fog lamps so that the top edge of the high intensity zone is 4 inches below the height of the fog lamp centers. Cover headlamps and opposite foglamp if needed to make accurate adjustment.

Maybe that'll help.

 

I could show this to them and they would then aim the "blob" of light correctly, my problem is the beam patter. Am I being too **** about this. I spent a lot of money on my car and just want it fixed properly. Please, a picture od a proper beam pattern would be very appreciated.

 

Rob - not that it helps you now, but for future reference I've had great service from Baker Jackson Nissan on 290.

 

 

 

 

btw, those are stock 2k fogs, even tho the headlights are clearly 2k2

 

Thanx alot Tim, those will be helpful come Monday when I give them their altamatum<--spelling. Now they are saying that they talked to Nissan and that they designed the two fogs with completely different patterns, makes no sense. Oh well, If they don't fix everything within 7 days then then I will take it somewhere else and bill it to them. Thanx again.
