Fog Light Aiming

There are two important issues to address when installing fog lights, the first is to minimize the amount of return

glare into the drivers eyes, and the other is to minimize glare into oncoming eyes. Both of those issues must be

accomplished while putting as much light as possible on the road.

These fog/foul weather light aiming instructions are suggestions taken from common practice and the S.A.E.

standard J583.

Some modifications to these instructions may be necessary to minimize glare.
Visual aim is made with the top of the beam 4 inches below the lamp center at 25 feet with the lamp facing straight

forward. (See below.)

● Only use fog lights if they

are aimed properly.

Fog lights should never be

the only foreword light

source. Fog lights should

be used with headlamp

low beams.

Verify each section according to the following.

【4】Troubleshooting……

Typically, driving lights are mounted above the front bumper about 14 cm -30 inches from the ground to provide

extra high beam illumination. Driving lights can be mounted below the bumper, although they will not be as effective

because the light will hit the ground sooner and reduce the range of the light.
Visual aim is made with the center of the beam hot spot 1.5 inches below the lamp center at 25feet with the lamp

facing straight forward. (see below.)

● Do not use driving lights into

oncoming traffic.

Driving lights should neverbe

the only forward light source.

Driving lights should only be

used with the headlamp high

beams.
