foglight positioning

It looks to me like my foglights point too much to the center when I stand at the front of the car. From the side it doesnt look like it though. Looking at the picture, can you tell if they are positioned properly? The lights have "top right" and "top left". Is "left" the passenger side or the driver side?

Thanks

well just by looking at them, they look like they are on the wrong side. Flip 'em that should work!

on my car the left parking lamp and foglight are on the drivers side, and the right parking lamp and foglight are on the passengers side. the only adjustment i can do to my foglights are up and down with that screw on the top of them.

Yeah, thats what I thought. That the reason they look straight from the side. The lenses are angled, but the housing is straight.

Why cant domestic companies just specify drivers and passengers side instead of left or right????

Are they replacement lights, or did your car not have them to begin with and your just putting them in?

Aren't fog lights suppose to point outwards? Im pretty sure the ones on my moms grand am are in the corners of the front clip and kinda point outwards.

They are the originals. I took them out and took them apart and cleaned them. Also painted the housing. They kind of suck to get out and put back in. I actually did flip them a couple of times trying to get them to look right. I guess I need to do it again. I hate that kind of thing, putting **** on backwards.

Thank you all.

The right and left hand orientations of all cars is defined by your seated position in the passenger compartment. As-such (when facing forward in a normal seated position), the left hand side of the car is always the drivers side.
