Mechanic changed one of the blown fog light globe during a service but it seems that particular globe is bright due to pointing slightly upwards compared to the other one.

Can anyone tell me how to align the fog lights?

I did a search and this (http://aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36413&highlight=light+alignment) thread tells about aligning the headlamps but not about the fog lights

Thanks

Im pretty certain there is no alignment screw or such for foggies, they are held there via the bracket... check too see if he has inserted the bulb correctly... I know the are a postioned bulb, but he could of just though **ck it, it will do...If this has happened your fog beam will be goin up instead of down

Will check.

Just as an aside, is it hard to reach to? The car is a TF Sports

from the front, it's a philips screw... it's hard to see get down on your hands and knees, there should be a tiny cut out so you can insert the screwdriver..

Yep, that's right. I have TF Sports and there is indeed a circular hole in the outboard end of each lower grille segment. Insert a mid-size phillips head driver into the hole, twist and bingo, you have adjustment :)
