One of the headlights on the car is aimed at the ground.. so you can barely see anything at night... is there a way to adjust them without going to the dealer?

Yup, instructions on adjusting them are in the Owners manual, just a couple of screws.

when I first got my tib.. it was the first car I ever had with projector beams.. I CURSED them for two weeks until I discovered they were aimed far too low. I could see the road perfectly fine, but I could not see anything above it.. like kids on bikes, pedestrians, signs... it was really frustrating at first.

it's on Webtech... I found it once. I believe you should park 10ft. away from a wall on level ground and have the line of the beam shining 2ft. tall.... after my accident they never re-aimed the new headlights and mine we sitting about 6inches high when 10ft. away from the wall...

it's not hard... just two screws.. one controls the up and down, the other the side to side... oh, and ignore the stupid little bubble aimer built into the light.. it is useless.

I tried looking into it, but I can't find anything on aiming the fog lights. Sorry bro.,.. maybe try taking them out and see if there is a screw on the backside of the foglight. They can be very hard to remove sometimes, so getting back there and finding out how to aim them or what screw to turn is impossile without removing them first.
