    Default ****** Fog Lights ******

    Is there a way to adjust the fog lights on a 2012 RT Limited? If there is, how?

    Not me... The only thing that I can do well with a hammer is bloody up a thumbnail or two...
    I do think that the European models had some adjustability built in to theirs though...

    On the Euro models, those are not the foglights, those are their low beams.

    Darn, I was afraid of that. Guess it's time to see if I can get some shims in there. Seems short sighted not to allow for adjusting for them for us two ton hippo's.

    Perhaps you can talk one of our European members to ship you over some of their Euro-only lighting systems?

    Too much weight on rear and front storage will affect your light alignment.

    I didn't think they were adjustable either. No mention of it in the Owner's or Shop Manual. However in this thread Sinkhole says that one of the screws beside the main housing is an adjustment screw. Has nice photos showing what screw to look for.

    Haven't tried it myself -- no need.

    That's great. Now I just need to figure out exactly which piece of Tupperware that is. THANKS gypsy.

    I'm kind of wondering that also...
    Fortunately I have several projects that'll involve the front-end being taken apart!
