Upper outside of each fog lamp is a small hole in which is the adjusting screw. #15 Torx.

To aim, measure centerline of lamp to level ground. At a distance of 25' on a wall, garage door, or whatever, mark that measurement. The center of the high intensity part of the beam should be approx. 4" below that mark.

Wow! That's good to know, as I was wondering the same thing. I could go spotlighting for coons with one of mine. The right one lights up the treetops very well at night!

The screw makes the position locked,they are sping loaded... you can push the light up but it wont stay... using the torque screw will insure its position... BTW most of the Fog lights come from the factory pointing down... a simple adjustment will make them work much better... Mark a line visually on a garage door or wall with the car level... adjust the fogs to 4 in/ below this mark. the should rest between the low beam line and the high beam line.

While you're at it... Replace the Stock 889 or 893 37 watt bulbs with a 885 50 watt bulb. Almost as bright as headlights. Mine are Sylvania at a local parts dealer and cost less than $5 each. Can reach in with headlights open and change em without unscresing the cover shield s explained in the GM Manual Have Fun BIGHANK
