C 5 Fog Lights

Are the C5 Fog Lights adjustable? This on a standard model not ZO 6. Recently installed LED’s and would like to raise them a little. Thanks in advance

Thanks Ed Ramberger that is the exact info I was looking for. I had previously looked in those holes but saw nothing, now when I push the plastic surround up I can see the adjusting screws.

just be glad you ain't got Z06 screens over top of them.
rather than taking off the bumper, i'll remove each lens, adjust the screw, reinstall, and pray it's where it needs to be.

Zebra: there is a you tube video of how to do this on a ZO6. That is why I posted not a ZO6 in my request.
with the info supplied my problem was fixed by purchasing a 4 inch long T15 Torx screwdriver, 1 3/4 turns
raised them to where They align with low beams now.

LOL!! I have a Z and I fabricated a really LONG THIN screwdriver to be able to do it without removing the screes or light. You have to move one of the wires in the screen a little BUT, you can move it right back like you were never in there.

If you haven't already, throw in some LEDs for more light. It's cheap

just do your homework to ensure the ones you get have the same focal point as the stock halogens (same distance from the edge of the base to the center of the coil/chip) so that the cutoff stays in focus.
