Fog Lights installed correctly

I have a set of fog lights that I would like to install but I don't know how the go. Are the adjust screws up or down, or does it matter, and which way do the lenses canter? I've attached several pictures.

Re: Fog Lights installed correctly

Just looked at my car, the adjustment screws are at the top. The lenses have lettering at the top. Passenger side has RH Top written on it. Drivers side has LH Top written on it. Hope this helps.

Yeah, it helps. Thanks. But like in the pictures, one side on the lens sticks out farther than the other side. Does this go outside or inside. I notice that on my glass lenses, it says LH Top but on the bottom it says RH top. The same goes for both. So on yours, the right hand being the passenger side, is the lens larger to the outside or inside?

Re: Fog Lights installed correctly

The part that sticks out farther goes to the inside, closest to where the license plate would be. The pic you have at the bottom right looks to be the way they should be installed in the car.

Re: Fog Lights installed correctly

I don't have them, but my guess would be to put the part that sticks out more to the outside. This would make the lenses face directly forward, compensating for the angle on the nose of the car.

Thats not the way they come from the factory. The large side is towards the middle or in side of the car. They are aimed just fine the way they are.
