    Just installed some diode dynamics fog lights. Did anyone else who have these have a hard time adjusting them?

    In the picture below, the blue tape on the wall is where my oem fog lights cutoff. The
    Diode dynamics are just a bit higher than my stocks. This the was the best I could adjust these fog lights without there being a huge gap on the truck.

    Should I continue to adjust the fog lights or just leave it the way they are?

    So they need to be adjusted up a little more? Since they are so much brighter I almost think it's a good thing they are pointed slightly downwards.

    Looks like they could still be a little high based on your tape marks. Typically you’d want to adjust them from a further distance to get a more accurate aim. If you back up does the pattern raise on the wall? That would mean they are aimed too high. You can see my aiming notes in post #2725 here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/posts/22622437

    If you mount the pod too far forward or back in the mount it will restrict the ability to aim the light.
