Question LoD Signature Mid-Width: Fog Light Issue

Ok, so I drilled out the hole on my factory fogs so they could slide into the mounts on my LoD Signature Mid-Width, but they didn't line up properly. Just for kicks I flipped them upside down (the alignment screw facing up) and they slid into place perfectly.

The problem is that now they light up the sky instead of the road. I've adjusted the screw as far as it will go and I can't get the lights back on the ground. In fact, they now aim higher than my headlights.

It's a great looking bumper, but my fogs are now completely useless unless I'm looking for cats stuck up in the trees.

Any suggestions?

Mine were tight, you just have to force the lights a little onto the bolts. My lights aim just right. The LOD bumper is a great bumper. They do a great job on quality.

I'll pull them off when I get home and try again, but I'm pretty sure I got forceful with them during the install, they just wouldn't line up. Slipped on with no effort when I flipped them.

If you haven't already, try switching the left to the right and vice versa, I had the same problem with pointing up to the sky with my Rugged Ridge bumper.

try to identify which mounting stud is giving you problems and bend it over a bit with a pair of vicegrips.

I installed mine before i put the bumper on the jeep. But also try using a deep well socket and place over the mounting hole and tap on the back of the socket, this is on the holes that are tight.

Thanks for all the tips. I finally got them aligned last night. They're still upside down, but I don't care as long as the light goes where I want!
