128 msport fog light adjustment

[olds350]

As the title says, how do you adjust the fog lights on the '13 128 msport? I've looked and it's not obvious. Looking here or on line didn't produce much info either. Anyone know what to do? Mine are aimed pretty low and I want to raise them up some...

they're fog lights. that's what they're supposed to do.

Fog lights aimed high will simply reflect off the fog and make things worse. They are probably not adjustable for that reason. They aren't meant to be driving lights.

I don't know how BMWs are set up with the fog light assemblies. But I'd imagine there should be a height adjustment some where on the back of the light housing.

I just installed a set of factory LED fog lights on my Toyota C-HR. The light assemblies had a vertical adjustment screw. I initially installed them without messing with the height adjustment. I took the car out for a drive to see how the beam pattern was. One side was ok. The other side was way off where the the throw of the light from that side was about 3 feet in front of the car. Totally useless in illuminating anything but the ground directly in front of the car. So I adjusted the lights to where I felt they should be. Even the instructions show you how to get them into proper adjustment by having the car parked at a certain distance from a wall with the light cut off being a certain height above the ground.

The recommended setting for fog lights, against a wall at 25 feet on level ground, with a driver sitting in driver's seat - is to aim them between 4" to 6" below the lowest part of the low beam headlight.

I appreciate the replies so far, but I still don't know how to adjust these lights. There is an access hole by the lights, but I can't see any type of adjustment screw to change the level of the lights. Do I need to remove the inner fender liner? Let me go look at realoem and see if that gives any clue...

Does the driver's manual mention anything? It shows how to adjust headlights on the 135i manual.

Appreciate you posting that info. I've looked into the access hole by the fog lights and I can't find any screw that would allow adjustments. Going to remove a fender liner to see if that opens up options....
