Front Fog Lamp Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: For the fog lamp adjustment screw location, refer to FOG LAMP .
  1. NOTE: Horizontal aim is not required for this vehicle and is not adjustable. Consult your state vehicle inspection center for recommended tolerance ranges for visual aiming.

    Before starting the fog lamp assembly adjustment:

    • Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
    • Check the tire inflation.
    • Make sure there are no other loads in the vehicle other than a half tank of fuel.
    • Make sure the headlamps are operating and are correctly aimed.
    • Make sure the fog lamps and headlamps are clean.
  2. NOTE: The vertical wall screen must be a minimum of 2.4 m (8 ft) wide.

    Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 m (25 ft) from the vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
