Default fogs with car slammed

having fogs with your car slammed doesnt get you much visbility in front of you as your suppose to. is there a way to get it to go farther w/o raising the car up. or should i just move the fog light a bit higher, but then i dont want to mess it up and have it crooked.what should i do?

Generally you want fog lights as low as possible. There is usually a gap between a fog layer and the ground. You want the light to travel in that gap.

You should be able to aim them.... so if you want them to go out further, then aim them up a little more. They arent supposed to light up a huge area so as long as you have decent headlights, it shouldnt matter how far out the beam actually goes

They look like most peoples after market headlights how their headlights point down and only light up the ground in front of the car. But the fogs look good.

if you have the oem kit you should take a silver and a black screw off to get the cover off...after that there are 3 gold bolts that hold the light housing to the bracket. in the top left corner on the driverside, opposite on the passenger side there should appear to have a bolt missing. If you put a phillips screw driver in that hole and turn it clockwise you will raise the beam, counterclockwise to lower it. If that still doesnt help Ill take some pics if you need em
