2005 Monte Carlo SS Tony Stewart Edition
#31
@BeefSS: Nope, ... Just get yourself a Torx head [screw]driver (the right size; it's a somewhat small one), & locate the head of the adjusting screw just above the fog lens. Turn slowly right or left - preferably at night, so you can watch the results - & you will be all "set".
One little thing I did that made this task easier for me, maybe because I am sooo **** with this stuff ... But block off one fog light at a time. Adjust one against a wall - maybe your garage door or something, or a building, etc. Then cover up the one you just adjusted, & adjust the other. After only three feet or so, the beams begin to converge on each other - which is the idea of fog lights vs. beamed driving lights, per se., & thus makes it a bit more difficult, in my mind, to adjust fogs properly.
After adjusting the second by itself, remove whatever is blocking the other, & see how close you are to them being level - the only adjustment(s) that you will be in control of is "up & down" ... I am sure you will not be dead-on, but pick which one you want to simulate, & raise or lower the other with both uncovered ... You will see what I mean, if you do it this way. Then go out for a ride. If you can, just drive with the fogs on, if they are too high for your liking, pull over & give each one a full turn one way or the other, too low, same thing. I messed around for an hour on night with about7-8 changes in my driveway 7 the parking lot across the street from my house until I was happy.
Something else you might want to think about, get your mitts on a set of Phillips 899's. Boost yourself up from the stock 880's that have only 27watts per bulb to the 899's that have 37.5watts per. double thumbs up!
