2001 3.5L fog lamp question

[derkach99]

Does anyone know how to adjust the fog lamps on a 2001 Aurora? I believe there is a spring loaded screw at the back but i'm not sure if that's it. My passenger side fog lamp seems to be aimed high. Thank you.

Not adjustable to my knowledge, but I can check the FSM...

[tigger]

Well, I was wrong, haha!

FSM says they ARE vertically adjustable. And that spring loaded screw is the adjuster...

Ok is there a way to adjust it with out removing the bottom shield? I think the screw faces down.

[tigger]

Yeah, it adjusts from the bottom.

You can probably get to it without completely removing the splash shield, just take out a few fasteners on that side and pull it down enough to get to it...

Well I attempted to adjust it today with no luck but you can reach the screw through a hole in the under shield, I think I stripped the screw head. I am wondering if I can remove the bolts fog lamp housing from the top if I remove the headlamp housing. Can this be done? I know there are just three bolts holding it in I know I changed my fog light bulbs this way. I am hoping if I can remove the fog housing I can have a better change at turning the screw or at least put some kind of spacer in there. I am also learning that if you tighten the headlight housing to tight you can affect its alignment a bit.

The other day I managed to remove the fog light fixture it is held in by three #10 bolts and the fog lamp wire. Once removed I found that the adjustment screw was rusted pretty good and unable to move so I used a thick narrow washer to adjust the lamp angle.
