    Headlight/Fog Light adjustment specs...

    Just put my HID's in this weekend, and wanted to know the specs for adjusting the headlight aim and fog light aim. Fogs seem to be aimed way too low, and the headlights are as well, but not bad enough to not see at night. How do the fogs adjust anyways? There is a screw on the back of the...
