...fog lamps should point straight ahead. The lens (glass) and reflector design is what makes them fog (wide beam) or driving (narrow beam). In either case they should be aimed level, not up, not down nor sideways. Because of the wide beam, fogs often appear to be shining down more than they really are, they light up the pavement really well right below the lamps, that's normal. Shine them on an open wall to see exactly where they are pointed. but if they installed the foglamps correctly, you should have an green indicator light just to the left of the headlight "on" indicator on the dash.

Replying to: mystockid (Aug 01, 2007 1:35 pm) I've been able to get any of the lights aligned pretty darn good, just by eye, and then moving the car closer or further away to make sure they aren't angled up or down inappropriately for the beam it is. I've even had a couple checked by the state inspection folks during a normal inspection and passed.

| What's with the alloy wheels--are they a good thing or not? What about splash guards ($95 plus installation; moonroof visor 135 plus installation; fog lights $325 plus installation, door edge guard $70 plus installation. My goal is to preserve the car but not to waste money. Are these worthwhile and what about these prices. Thanks for your help. I need to be a little prepared! | |

door edge guard and splash guards may actually do something (and are very easy to install yourself), all the others are for looks, they don't "protect" anything. The moonroof visor just reduces the amount of the opening....kinda pointless. Alloys on a Civic are strictly for looks. personally I have 18" HFP and yes, like the looks. there is no performance to be enhanced.... some pics of my 07 EX coupe with HFP package, fogs, door edge guards, splash guards, etc...but no moonroof visor: http://www.carspace.com/kenlw/Albums/kenlw%27s%20Album/

Replying to: kenlw (Aug 09, 2007 5:55 pm) I thought point of moonroof visor was to reduce wind noise? Does it help with that? How do the splash guards look? I have seen pictures but not in person. Thanks. |
