Hit curb...OOps..Issue with re-adjusting Fog lamp S70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Lance on  Mon Nov 4 09:47 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi everyone...I recently hot a curb with the underside of my front spoiler...very mild damage...a little cosmetic but thats it....I noticed though that the impact actually readjusted and pushed once of my forglights slightly inward. I looked underneat...and there seems to be a few adjustment areas...What is the best way to re-adjust the foggy?...Thanks..Lance

    I actually made major modifications to my system because they don't align in the airdam properly to begin with (at least 1998, the first year; looks as if they changed the airdam design and forgot to tell Hella).

    The screw adjustment only moves the light up and down. If you have an inward deflection you'll either have to twist the metal bracket or remove the side screws (torx) and shim the fixture. The metal bracket is very strong steel....best done by removing the fixture and clamping in a vice.

    OEM replacement for the fixture (including bracket) should be about $60.
