Fog light movement?

Slayer2003 · Apr 10th, 2004, 05:33 PM

I'm installing the fogs from another B14 i got from another member on here, n everything is great, but i just noticed something about them as i hooked up the wires.

Are they supposed to have a little play in them, as in move up and down a fraction of an inch?i looked for a tightening screw or something but found nothing. any info on this in the next 20 minutes er so would be awsome, as i gotta put my bumper back on before it gets dark.

Also, are the bulbs in the factory nissan fogs H1's? im pretty sure they are, just double checking...

damn, I'm installing my fogs maybe tommorow, but I dont have the mounting hardware... I plan on buying some cheap metal brackets from home depot and drilling the holes in the bumper, how do you guys think that would work out?

my pass. one moves maybe a quarter inch, the other maybe an 8th. also i gotta adjust em, as the pass one is almost aiming at the ground, the the drivers is to the far-left.

Dry, stock fogs, or something like hella er piaa? cause the stock mounts are kinda heavy guage steel. well, heavier than my wal-mart specials that were on there before

oem foglamps, H3.
and if the whole lamp is moving while driving, that's too much, but some movement is ok, and if it still moves, try adjusting the level all the way up to all the way down, then to the desired level, this should tighten some things up a bit.

didnt notice it moving around while driving yet, but my hedlights overpower the bulbs that are currently in there anyway......so.......ill have to wait 4 er 5 days till my new ones get here

i do notice the extra drain on the alternator though.......
