Anyone know how to aim these?
I payed attention to them really for the first time last night and it seems like they are aimed higher than the highbeams.
(I don't think fogs are supposed to light up tree tops :shock: )
Also, is there a link on here for proper procedure to adjust headlights? Thanks.

ok. so i found the manual... guess i should actually look for things?!?!?!
Anyway, all it says is to adjust the headlights, contact your subaru dealer. To change fog light bulbs... contact your subaru dealer. And nothing about adjusting the fogs.

Ok, must be a small manual then. :lol:

light aiming is usually achieved by turning the screws at the back of the lights.

The fogs are a PITA because you're lying on the ground, in the dark.

But hey, at least now you found your manual.

This would be a decent investment.

on the projector style in the 03-04's you pop off the foglight surround and you'll see you a philips head you can turn to adjust the beam height.

Look around the foglight, including under and behind it.

finally got around to doing this. Discovered I was getting moisture in one of them as well. I took it out and discovered that one of the mounting tabs was broken off. Also the little ball and socket joints were completely separated inside the light. I took them apart and fixed that, and glued a piece of plastic over the tab hole, but I think I just need to replace the whole thing. It's all discolored inside from the moisture.
