Default 1986 Foglight Adjustment

Can anyone tell me how to adjust my foglights on a 1986? Somehow my passengerside light is aiming higher and I can't see any adjustment but the owners manual says that is has an adjuster

There is a small torx adjuster screw at the bottom of the light. It’s very similar to a headlight adjuster screw. Push down on the bumper cover at the base of the light and look with the aid of a flashlight and you will see it. The auto parts store has the headlight adjuster tool that you will need for cheap.

Good luck.

On the back of the lamp where the wires go thru. There is a screw type **** kinda like a soda bottle cap, you will probably need to remove the airbox to access it unless you have tiny hands. There is a slot that runs upand down for adjustment.When it is where you want it tighten up the ****...

Grace 91 I looked everywhere for the adjustment screw but on my car there isn't onebut thanks anyway. Nuts4c4 thankyou I did what you said and got it. That is actually the holder the foglight bulb goes into and when you loosen it you adjust the whole inside housing. Again Thanks without you telling me would never have attemped to loosen that.
