FOg adjustment

How do I adjust the fog lights to not point straight down at the road?

If you have a P5, aiming the fog lights is very easy. Here are the basic steps:

1. Jack up the car a few inches (optional), if you want more space to work with. It's because you need to get your head under the bumper to see what you're doing. Of course be careful when doing this. Just to cover my a$$, do this at your own risk!
2. Loosen the front, flat part of the wheel well (near the bumper area, right under the fog lights) . There should be 3-4 screws right there. The black plastic is pretty flexible, so you can bend it while working under it and don't have to remove the whole thing.
3. Get your head under the bumper and look up. you should see a black piece of metal that holds the fog lights to the car. There should be 3 bolts/nuts on that piece of metal. If I remember correctly, one of them is golden/silver color while the other 2 are black. The 2 black bolts together act like a hinge.
4. Loosen the 2 black color bolts. Find a wrench that can fit into that small space. You should be able to aim the fog lights now. Don't need to touch the silver nut unless you want to remove the whole fog light assembly.
5. Tighten and put everything back together in reverse order.

I have no problem with that. I'll just put it up on a lift.
