May 10, 201015 yr Just installed them and everyone who has done the install on forester.org state that they are aimed way to low but I don't see how to adjust them. Thank You!
May 11, 201015 yr Im not convinced there would be any adjustment without some "rigging" the factory instructions for installation just say to install them.
May 11, 201015 yr But do YOU think they're too low? Fog lights are supposed to be aimed low. Part of the idea is that the light goes UNDER the fog to help illuminate the road, rather than scattering around in the fog (like headlights do). They are not supposed to be aimed any further than the low beam headlights, as a matter of fact they are supposed to be aimed closer than the headlights to help concentrate more light in front of the car (so you can see the road), rather then spreading it out farther down the road where it doesn't do you any good because you can't see that far through the fog anyway. Aiming them up defeats the purpose of having them in the first place, and blinds oncoming drivers making an already hazardous situation even more dangerous for you, as well as the other driver.
