FRONT FOG LAMP: Aiming Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb.

Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.
Place vehicle on level ground.
See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps and opposite fog lamp.

NOTE: Access adjustment screw from underneath front bumper. Use a suitable tool to adjust. Turn screw clockwise to raise pattern and counterclockwise to lower pattern.
