FOG LAMP ALIGNMENT

Fog Lamp Alignment:




Prepare an alignment screen. Refer to the Alignment Screen Preparation. A properly aligned fog lamp will project a pattern on the alignment screen 100 mm (4 in.) below the fog lamp center line and straight ahead. To improve visual interpretation of the fog lamp pattern on the alignment screen, disable the headlamps by disengaging the wire connectors from the headlamp bulbs.

Fog Lamp Adjustment Screw:




The Town and Country fog lamp adjustment screw is located through the lens.
