Fog Light Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. 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. Adjust them both so they are approximately 4.5 cm (1.77 in) lower (D) than the height of the fog lights at a distance of 3 m (10 ft).
  For example, if the vehicle is parked 3 m (10 ft) from the screen, the top of the fog light beam should be 4.5 cm (1.77 in) below the tape mark.
Adjust each fog light by turning the adjuster (A).
