Easy.... find the round hole in the bezel adjacent to the fog light. If you look into that hole, you will see a Torx head fastener. It is a T15.
Turn that screw to adjust the fog light elevation.

I leave my foglights on all the time with the low beams, it lights up sides well. I also used 50 watt bulbs, instead of stock 35/37 watts.

Not too hard. Raise your lights by turning the mechanical bypass wheel, and reach in there, you may have to remove the bezel around your headlights, depending how big your hands are.
Remember use gloves or do not touch bulbs with your hands, as the oil could burn them out prematurely.

where do I find the mechanical bypass wheel ? ? Are the headlights off at this point in time and the doors closed ? ?
Thanks in advance for your further explanation

Raise the hood, black round **** just behind headlights. Turn to raise headlights, which should be off at this time.
Use caution while closing the hood with the lights up. No problem with mine, but I read somewhere that the hood might hit the raised headlights.

you never have to touch the bulbs ??? so why even mention it...
there is a torq adjuster just to the side of each fog light... most foglights are aimed down from the factory because they are not aimed at all... once you crank UP the foglights they will actually impress you... park in front of a white garage door... put on your high beams and adjust the fogs so the focus in just below the center of the high beam...it takes about five minutes and does not require putting your hands down inside the headlights.. this adjustment is done through the front facia.. about 1/4 inch from the foglight itself...and it does not require touching the bulbs.
