Default Fog lamp adjustment - difficult?

I just noticed the other day that the beam of the fog lamp on the drivers side of my 01 vert is almost pointed staright down to the ground.

Is this difficult to adjust , any tricks or advice. Not really sure where to begin to make an adjustment.

Not difficult at all. Next to the fog light is a little hole. Get a torex head (I will look up the size) and adjust the screw for up/down aiming.

I am off to work but will try and reply later with the torex size.

Edit:
Here is the link to procedure
I had the link on my favs

Default use 885 bulbs and adjust you now almost have headlights

I replaced the 889 or 893 lamps with 885 bulbs. Park 10 0r 15 feet from a light surface, I used my closed garage door, and use the TORX screwdriver to adjust the lights to approximately the same height your low beam headlights are at the same distamce. Now you will see a lot better with the fog lights on. You can use them by just turning on the parking lights (1st headlight switch position). They will also work when the LOW BEAMS are on but go off when you switch to high beams.BIGHANK
