Default Fog Lights Adjustment

Is there a way to do this? I know you can for the standard headlights.

The reason I ask was I noticed when I run the fogs with the low beams it looks almost like when I have the car on high beams. With the fog lights on I get great peripheral view and it also lights up much higher further down the road than my low beams. When running them people flash the brights at me. When I don't run fogs it's a non-issue. Thanks.

There's an up/down adjustment. Just ahead of the outer air damns on each side is a hole you stick a 7mm allen up into and turn one way or the other.

Default C6 Fog Light Adjustment

I have just replaced the fog light housings in my C6 vert and was looking to adjust the fogs. The housings were from a 2012 C6 and were adjusted for that vehicle. I am looking for fog light adjustment instructions. The previous post said there was an adjustment from the bottom. I did not find any adjustment on the underside of the housing but there is one at the back that has a 10 mm nylon drive. I have not tried them yet, but will post with further info. The white 10mm is in the upper right corner.

Wow, this is very timely information. I just notice a couple of nights ago that my fog lights seem to be pointing at the ground. They do no good when they are on.

With many years of driving I have always found fog lights to be marginal at best.

Ya gives some help but still slowing down is the best remedy.

Out in in California we get some real heavy Central Valley fog. I used to fight it alot also along the coast Hwy1 between Santa Cruz and San Francisco.

Fog lights useless.

Big pair of steel ***** priceless.

Can someone tell me what the part number of the fog light bulb is? I can't seem to find it in my 2006 manual. Thanks.

If fog is a problem, then bright white LEDs are not the answer.

I used to drive in the same fog up in northern Cali. The thing is, if the bulbs in the "fog" lights are white, they're not fog lights; they're driving lights. They are only true fog lights when the bulbs are yellow, which cuts through even the nasty, blinding fog seen in northern Cali.

Yes the yellow is better but still very iffy.

The problem is the light gets reflected and splatters all over causing more blindness.

I ran yellow on the big rig and still found the fog scary as all get out.

On another subject driving at night with falling snow is kind of tough too, at least for me. very disorienting.
