Fog Light/Daytime Running Light Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before adjusting the fog lights:

Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Make sure the tire pressures are correct.
The driver or someone who weighs the same should sit in the driver's seat.
Unload the vehicle.

The fog lights should aim down slightly. To check for proper adjustment:

Park the vehicle in front of a wall (A).

Turn the fog lights on.
Determine if the fog lights are aimed properly:
- Measure the height of the fog lights (B).
- On the wall, mark the height of the fog lights with a piece of tape (C).
- Check each fog light beam's height. With the vehicle parked 3 m (9.6 ft) from the screen, the top of the fog light beam should be 4.5 cm (1.77 in) below the tape mark.
If necessary, adjust each fog light to the specified height by turning the adjuster (A).
