Default All you H.I.D. guys

My head and fog lights were a little cloudy on my 08 ccsb so I got one of those head light restoration kits. While doing the fog lights I noticed a screw to adjust them, and wanting to install some H.I.D.s my self I remembered people blinding on-coming traffic, so I figured I would share this;

This is my passenger side fog light, the driver side is the same thing just mirrored. Im not sure how much adjustment there it, but I guess it will help.

Have you adjusted them on your truck to see a difference?

Yeah...I have mine turned all the way down...with them turned up and my 6Ks they were just as bright as the HIs!! Now they light up the pavement pretty good...
Just a little FYI...if you install HIDs in the fogs, be sure to silicon the bulb in...one of mine fell out and burned all the way through the housing...they are over 100$ each!!!

So now you can drive with your fogs on and not get flashed ?

Yessir...I don't really use them too often because the intensity of the lights will eventually cause your lenses to cloud up, but I never get flashed anymore...(unless Im running 6HI ��)
