Adjusting R33 S2 Fog Lights?!?

[McDrifto]

hey guys!

did a search everywhere but cant find out the answer

does anyone know how to adjust the front fog lights on a R33 Series2 as mine seem to be pointing straight down to the ground

any help is apprecieated!

thanks

guess you cant adjust them then..

realisticaly anyways they are fog lights and only supposed to be on in fog conditions otherwise its illegal...

I'm pretty sure they are not adjustable...

What do you mean pointing straight to the ground.

[NA_Goodness]

Pointing straight at the ground? Isnt that wot fog lights do tho?

[McDrifto]

no. Fog lights project hi beam at low levels, not necessarily pointing dircetly at the floor

i used to have standard xenon fog lights on my RS liberty and when turned on it gave a direct high beam at low level but the distance was very far

on the R33 when the fog lights are turned on it points directly down about 30cm infront of the front bumper. The RS liberty fog lights projected at least 15 if not 20 Meters

ive used my fog lights in the skyline several times in the FOG and they are useless!!!!!!!! i even had only the parkers and the foggies on and i couldnt see a thing

Main reason because they are not foglights. They are driving lights and do not use a high beam/high wattage bulb. They are the same wattage and same bulb as your low beams, a H1. And no you cant adjust them.

hmmm 15-20metres away is like where your normal low beam would be concentrated

it's normal, my foggies shines around a metre or two infront of the front bumper,

I think you're exaggerating about it shining down only 30cm from the front bumper

you could probably adjust the bulb if it's not sitting in properly

Just got back from some night driving and you guys are 100% right.

They are NOT fog lights. They do use the same globes as the head lights (not sure if it is legal to drive with them on as cops might think they are fog lights which you cant drive on clear nights).

i measured again with just the fog lights on and parkers on and they go 1.25M infront of the car.

thanks for clearing things up. I thought they were actual fog lights and something was wrong with them..

Legally because they are not foglights and just driving lights they are not illegal, i always drive with mine on at night and have been pulled up numerous times by police and never been questioned about them (thats QLD, not sure on other states, but would assume its the same). So if a cop starts making a fuss about it just explain they are driving lights and pretty much point straight in front of the car and cannot affect other drivers in anyway because they are the same as you low beams, last time i checked its not illegal to have your lights on...

So, what you are saying, Legally its not illegal? Sounds good!

i want to hook up the "driving lights" in my front bar to my parking lights and or driving lights so they are always on at night

how do i do this? heaps of stuffing around? worth taking to an auto electrician?

a nice simple wiring diagram would be champ !!
