Factory Fogs Adjustable?

My driver's side fog light is aimed a bit low so if you get away from the vehicle... maybe 25 yards or so, you can notice how it looks dull and if you get far away, it looks like the truck only has one fog light on it.

Is there a way to adjust it's aim?

I'd go look right now but it's pouring down rain so I can't roll around under my truck.

on most OEM assemblies there are some thumbscrews you can use to adjust them, if they are too tight, you can use a socket on them, but it can be done on most models, im not 100% positive ont he F150 since i dont have factory fogs

Yes, they are adjustable.

I am not 100% sure on this but i think you can from the back side of the light. I am just saying this b/c I was cleaning out mud from the wheel wells yesterday and it looked like ther eare adjusment screws on the back..

Yep, there is a small rod that goes in there for height adjustment, I did mine a while back along with the headlights at work with out headlight aimer when I took out the rear blocks and it was very easy. A small socket, like a 5mm or 5.5mm I think is what fits it perfectly. You can use a air of pliers on it but it will be harder and will bugger it up.

Thanks! I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't rain all day again.

I see three long threaded screws on the back. Is that the adjustment? They form a triangle, but only seem to tighten the light into the holder. What am I missing?
