Fog lamp adjusting

[Arri]

Hi there

Anyone knows how to adjust the level of the round style foglamps in the current model hilux, they use HB4 51W bulbs, I can only see the the mounting bolts one on top and one at the bottom of
the bumper, but I am not sure if you can adjust their level?

Regards

Arno,

As far as I know they should be able to be moved slightly altough I doubt if it can be adjusted like the headlights....

Checked the Runx today and also my nieghbors Fortuner, but could not see any adjusting screws for it.

Thanks Pieter

I believe they are the same as RunX/ Corolla/Yarris I also could not find any adjustment screws, but I didn't remove the wheel arch cover to get a propper view, the only bolts are the stabilisers/fitment and they do not have space to move, I don't drive in fog alot so it's not crytical, but when I do use them I find them useless because they are aimed too low, People in Gauteng use them as driving lights permanemtly or as some sort of fashion accessory, which is against the law in clear weather, and sometimes they drive with parking lights and fogs in the night so I do not know how do they weven see where they are going.......

I always drive with my front fog lights switched on. I find that it does light up the area right in front of the car nicely and also gives some light to the sides. This helps when one approaches badly lit areas and there is a potential for hi-jackings etc.

What I do hate is when people drive with their rear facing fog lamps on in clear weather. These lights are extremely bright and blinding when driving behind one of these vehicles which I believe could actually cause more accidents than preventing them. :evil: :evil:

It's one of the laws in SA that does not get enforeced: see link:

http://www.search.gov.za/info/previewDo ... +BE+UNSAFE
"Fog lamps are designed for special weather conditions and the unnecessary use of it is not only illegal but inconsiderate and dangerous as well"
That said I would drive with mine on as well if I get them adjusted a bit higher so they shine iluminate the area my dipped beam skips.
But I am also scared one borred trafic cop starts issuing high fines for fog lights in clear weather......

Amen to that brother... En ek het in elk geval nog ooit van iemand gehoor wat vir dit af getrek is nie.. en hulle ry self met hulle sinne aan :)

Amen vir dit broer... and I had in each case more ever from anybody heard what for it off pulled is not.... and they ride self with them sentences on :)

Ja ek ook nie, maar het wel gehoor van ,n vriendin wat se mnw by 'n padblokade gestop is en toe kla die verkeersbampte oor haar misligte en sy se se sy weet nie hoe om dit af te sit nie, toe kyk die verkeesbeampte en kan ook nie uitfigure hoe om hulle af te skakel nie toe laat gaan hy haar so, maar ja dit is teen wet om met misligte aan in mooi weer te ry agter en voor, dit is nie daylight driving lights soos in party amerikaanse staate normale toerusting is en automaties aanskakel nie.
Maar ek wonder nog steeds hoe verstel mens hulle, Ek reken jy kan spacers soos washers op die monterings boute insit en so 'n verstelling maak, maar ke's seker daar is tog 'n manier om die ligte maklikker op en af te vestel met een of ander vertellings skroef wat ek miskyk, Weet iamnd dalk hoe jy hulle kan instel?

[CasKru]

Arno, Ek ry 'n Corolla per dag en ek is seker die Hilux en Corolla se fog lights werk op dieselfde basis. Ek het dalk 'n idee hoe om dit te verstel maar moet eers die naweek gou gaan loer of ek wel reg is voor ek iets voorstel en jou eerder in die sloot in help as daar uit (ek weet jy sal self uit die sloot kan uitkom... jy ry tog 'n Hilux)

[Arri]

Dankie Man, laat weet as jy iets raak sien, Ek sal hulle verstel kan kry as ek moet, maar ek glo daar moet 'n vertel skroef wees wat ek mis kyk, Daar is 'n plasiek cover wat oor die lamp self clip, en aan die bumper bo en onder vasgeboud is maar nie verstelbaar is nie, tensy jy die gate van die boudjies en groter maak en hulle dan vorentoe of agter toe skuif, of spacers insit wat die lig se posissie verander, Maar ek seker daar is 'n normale manier om daai ligte te tune as mens hulle bv op 'n beam setter wil instel..... Ek het al spotlights gesien wat in daai gate pas vir 'n Hilux Vigo maar hulle lyk anders as die oorspronklike toerusting misligte .......

Die hiluxe se foglamps word nie in die fabriek in durban gestel nie, so ek neem aan dat dit nie verstelbaar is nie, want gewoonlik word alles op end of line verstel. Hoop dit help.
