Question fog light adjustment?

Can fog lights be adjusted? I recently came to realize that my left one shine's right into oncoming cars. I only use them when it's rainy out, but for common courtesy I'd like to adjust them. I can't find anything in the owner's manual about it.

Thanks!!

Yes they can, but the headlight assembly needs to be off of the car unless you have rubber fingers.

There is an adjustment screw on the back of the housing that adjusts the fog light up and down. Turning it in (right) will bring it down and turning it out (left) will bring it up.

There is also an adjustment for the low/high beam bracket that adjusts the lights left or right so that the lights can meet requirements for any country.

I'd be concerned that there is something wrong with the bulb mount or the bulb itself has an offset filament since these lights are set at the factory and are designed to never need adjustment.

Try swapping fog light bulbs from headlight to headlight and see if the bad pattern follows the bulb or stays with the fog lamp housing.
