Setting foglamp height - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

alex87f · 10-11-2020, 03:00 PM

Hello everybody,

During my 86's last inspection, I was told one of the foglamps was aimed too high.

I couldn't find any how-to on foglamp height setting, how does one go about this? Is there even an adjustment?

Based on this how-to, it appears they're just screwed into place without any ability to adjust anything

.. Am I missing something?

Best regards,
Alex

I believe there's 2 screw-gears on the back to adjust the bracket

I got around to this, the bracket is held by two screws and does have one screw gear for adjustment.

If anyone wants to do this later, there is no need to take the front cover off, just do this through the wheel well ;-) .

Make sure it isn’t just installed upside down. It happened to mine when installed by the dealer after purchase. One light was aiming way too high. I saw that the writing on the bulb was inverted and told them perhaps the housing was installed incorrectly. They swore up and down that was impossible and that they would adjust some screws and fix it. Later they sheepishly told me I was right and that it was upside down. No charge.
