Pre-Senior Fog Light Moment

[hotdogjohnny]

The Si's fogs (2012) need to be adjusted off the car because of the plastic undercarriage guard. Which way do you turn the screw to raise the beam? My mechanical mind tells me you tighten it down clockwise, compressing the spring, but when I did that to each one and reinstalled, they look like they're pointed to the ground. (Had to replace a bulb so thought I'd do adjustments at the same time.) Feel free to poke fun . Clockwise? Counterclockwise? I couldn't tell which way would raise the beam when adjusting the lenses in hand.

Since you haven't gotten a answer. I'd say do it the opposite direction that you already did? Since the way you did it moved them down and you want them up. I would be more concerned about getting them balanced/matched/even, and doing that while they're off the mount...... lots of trial and error.

You're right about balance Monk. I removed them from the car after the first post. I squeezed them at the spring, and when compressing the spring like taht, it became obvious that the lens pointed up when squeezing the spring between the mount and lens. As far as matching/balance, I wrote down the number of threads exposed at the top of each screw. Then when I raised them after the first post by compressing the screw with clockwise turns (it is clockwise), I have nine exposed threads on each each screw. Pulled the car up near a white wall, they are both higher and even across the throw. All's good. .
