Fog Lamp Adjustment









The fog lamps are bracket mounted to the air dam and bumper.
Before checking the aim of the fog lamps, prepare the vehicle.
1. Make sure all components are in place, if other work has been done on the vehicle.
2. Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface.
3. Stop all other work on the vehicle.
4. Make sure the vehicle has one-half tank of fuel or less.
5. Close the doors.
6. Rock the vehicle sideways.
7. Make sure the vehicle has no load other than the driver.

Place a screen 760 mm (2.5 feet) in front of the vehicle. Draw a horizontal line at the same height as the centerline of the lamps.
Turn on the fog lamps. The top edge of the high intensity zone should be 5 to 20 mm (0.2 to 0.8 inches) below the centerline of the lamps.

The fog lamps can be adjusted vertically by turning the adjusting screw above the lens on the lamp assembly. The lamps cannot be adjusted horizontally.


The fog lamps can also be adjusted using the screen method described in Composite Headlamp Adjustment. Refer to Headlamp / Service and Repair. Service and Repair

The vehicle should be parked 7.62 m (25 feet) in front of the screen. Using tape make a horizontal line on the screen at the same height as the centerline of the lamps. Then turn on the fog lamps. The top edge of the high intensity zone should be 101.6 mm (4 inches) below the horizontal centerline of the fog lamps.
