Ehhh I get flashed enough as is.

 

I finally got around tonight to adjusting the fogs up a bit...it took all of 5 minutes...4 of which I spent trying to find the right size allen key. I look forward to seeing how these improve nighttime vision when I leave for work in 3 hours. Ah crap, I should go to bed shouldn't I!

 

Well I finally got around to raising the aim on my foglights to just below the headlights and WOW, what a difference it made !! I've been lazy with the weather being so cold and no place to do it indoors at the moment so with the weather being semi-mild I decided to jump at the chance. Enclosed are some pics of the lights now, and just so people know.. yes I did change the bulbs but even with the new bulbs when they were aimed low they didnt project nearly half as much light! The pics arent the best but you should definatly notice a difference, espeically of the pic with just the foglights on aimed at the wall!

hey, SimplyRed.....love those RED dash lights, how'd you do that? inquiring minds want to know.....

 

Ehhh I get flashed enough as is.

....it's been a long time for me. guess i'm too old to 'get flashed'!!!

 

Might try the re-aim myself. Do a lot of late night/early morning long drives on the turnpike with minimal traffic...might help spot the deer before it becomes a hood ornament !

 

The red dash lights you mean? Thats the stock color, isnt everyones?

 

Just to save anyone some time who is going to reaim them.. its a 4mm allenkey!

you mean they're SUPPOSED to be RED??? hummmmm

 

what color are yours... thats the way my dash has glown since the day I got it... mines a 2006 though I see yours is an 05? Maybe the difference?!

 

you mean they're SUPPOSED to be RED??? hummmmm

Yeah, when they are lit up they are red. I thought everyones were like that.

That's a Pontiac "signature", like the split grille.

They're even red on my '79 Grand Prix SS.

 

now Im curious to see what color his lights up...

 

:cheers: Maybe he's colorblind.. lol.. J/K

 

Hey SimplyRed, what bulbs did you use in the fog lights ? Did you have to remove the lower panel to get them out ?

 

I used Luminics Ultra White H11's (both the fog lamp and lowbeams are H11's). The easiest thing to do is get both the low beam and foglamps at the same time, and if you have some exta money to burn the high beams too (H9's). Remove the 2 mounting screws from each headlight and the body pins from the facia (I think theres about 6, the ones when you open the hood). Now it says to use 2 people to remove the headlamp but I did it myself by being carefull not to scratch the car or break the facia but it will come out. Theres a little ball and socket connector that holds in the headlamp, the fist time u get it to pop out its a bitch but it will come out just work it and dont be afraid to be a little agressive, when you do the first one you will see what I'm talking about... To change the high/low beam its pretty self explanatory from there, and if u look straight down the hole of the headlight you can see the foglamp, switch them than. The only PITA side is the pass beause the air box inlet is directly above the foglight (I had my girl do it=small arms hahahaha). Wheeew, I think that about sums it up in a nutshell lol... sorry so long winded, but wanted to be helpfull lol

 

now Im curious to see what color his lights up...

GOTCHA!!! JUST KIDDING.....

There is a hole above the fog light. Put an allen key in the hole and turn. there are clicks so count them and do the same # on the other side. Just so you know, my pas side is brighter than my drivers side. Don't know why but it is probably a safety thing. Do it and take a drive. Huge difference.

 

thankkks i will do.. let u kno how it looks

how many clicks and which way should i turn the screw? Just looking for what everyone else has done, I know it will depend on driver prefrence.

 

if you park you car up again a wall, garage door or something level, you can see just how low the foglights are in comparison to the headlights. Thats all I did, then I just raised them up to below the headlights it's really a preferance thing, don't go to high or they'll be in drivers eyes but if you dont care about that (like I dont) then raise them up as high as you'd like but to high and you won't even notice them...

x2. thats what I did. Just give it a shot. just be sure to count the clicks. If you go the wrong way then you know how many to get back to 0.

 

........"change the bulbs" from what to WHAT???? BRIGHTER????
