2011 premium v6 fog light adjustment

Oldmountainman said:

I may have missed it. If so please help me out. I'd like to adjust my fog lights up & to the right. Any way to do so without pulling front end apart, or trying to get information from dealer (unlikely)? I've had mine now 2 1/2 years, 11,000 miles. no problems except my remote quit working yesterday. probably not under warranty. thanks

Hello Oldmountainman,

My name is Deysha with Ford Service. I recommend you speak to your Ford dealer as soon as possible. Your service manager will be in the best position to assist you with this. Keep me posted on what happens.

If you're referring to the lower bumper cover lamps, there is only up & down adjustment. On the bottom of the assembly you will see a round "wheel" with gear teeth. If you turn that wheel it moves the bulb up or down in the housing. Best bet is to get the front end up on jack stands or ramps, and start the job in daylight, locate the adjustment wheel and do your adjusting after it gets dark. There is a pretty significant difference between the highest and lowest setting.

Fog lights are designed to have a sharp flat cutoff to the top of the beam with no cutoff on either side. That is why there is no left/right adjustment - they already cover as far to each side as possible.

But fog lights are designed that way to provide supplemental lighting in low visibility while minimizing reflection for the driver. They are NOT intended as driving lights and should never be aimed any higher than completely level horizon. In fact, the proper aim for our fascia mounted fog lights is a 1.5" vertical drop at 25 feet. Grille mounted GT fog lamps should have a 3" drop at 25 feet.
