Default Fog Lights

Has anyone replaced their fog light bulbs with a brighter light? Is it easy? What bulb did you use? There are some on ebay and not sure if they are really better/worth it?

Default Got mine at Eurolite because they were only $16 a pair and -->

they are much closer to the light color from the low beams. Only took about 20 minutes to change them.<ul><li><a href="http://www.aieonline.com/71/1053.htm?848">http://www.aieonline.com/71/1053.htm?848</a</li></ul>

Default Re: My 2002 has H7U bulbs, not the economical H3. I found them at nextcollection.com for $129.95 ...

per pair, but they were out! I have not checked in a while, let me know if you find any.

Default What pwaug said, except I found the adjustment screw while changing the bulbs.

Adjusting them up so they point 6 to 8 feet in front of the car instead of two feet makes them slightly more useable. Checking by standing in front of the car shows no oncoming-driver blinding. I put towels over the headlights and adjusted them with the beams against the garage door to keep them even. Now they illuminate the edges of the road just in front of the car slightly better in fog.

Can you tell us where the adjustment screw is located, and how to access it?

Default Here's a picture of the driver's side with the grill off.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/17396/fog1.jpg"></center><p>
The adjustment screw is at the lower left of the housing, about even with the "SAE" on the lens. It's head is round on the outside, a hex shape where the phillips screwdriver slots are exposed. You can reach it with a phillips screwdriver with the grill on. The adjustment is up and down only. The passenger side is a mirror image of this one.
