Re: Jeep wrangler TJ fog light alignment????
Fog Lights should be aimed below your Low Beams.
The idea of fog lights is that they cut below your headlamps to reduce glare. Think of standing in your kitchen on a dark night with the lights on, you can not see outside because of the glare. If you had a light that was below your line of sight, it could shine below the other lights and reduce the glare that comes back at you. At 25 ft, your headlamp should strike a horzontal line approximately 25 inches from the ground. The top of the "hot spot" of the Low Beam should be set to 25 inches from the ground, and the left side lamp should be positioned so that it does not shine onto the oncomming cars. I like to place a blanket or similar over one headlamp so that I can adjust the other. The hot spot of the lamp is easier to see if the other lamp is not visible. The lamps are adjusted by screws that are located in various locations in the vicinity of the headlamp -- different automakers do this differently, you have to find the adjustment screws. Once you get one headlamp set, cover it and adjust the other lamp. Now that the head lamps are set, you can adjust the fog lamps. Your fog lamps MUST be adjusted so they illuminate the area below the Low Beam of the headlamps. The adjustment of the fog lamps is done via the mounting bolt on the base of the lamp housing. Your adjustment depends greatly on the type of beam pattern your lamps have, but it is important that your fog lamps do not shine into the eyes of oncomming cars. I prefer my fog lamps to shine straight in front of my car, but you might prefer your fog lamps point toward the gutters so that animals that come from the side of the road will be seen earlier. I do not live where animals are likely to dart out, so I want to see stuff in the roadway as early as possible. As a matter of law (in my State), Fog Lights must be wired so they are ON with the Low Beams and OFF with the High Beams. This is perfectly logical because you should NEVER use high beams in foggy conditions. Fog Lights are also considered auxiliary lighting, therefore they should never be the only lights you are running on the front of your car. (Having said that, my BMW is wired so the Fog Lamps can be the only lights that are on -- the local cops talked to me one night about this ... ) |
