Fog Light....

[Mick_rw]

Have just renewd all the driving lights on my bike and added a set of fog, Micro DE's, the only thing I am unsure of is how to align the fogs, are they set to look in the same direction as the dip?......Any suggestions about the lights would be much appriciated.....

Same direction, yes (forwards ) but not the same angle. Assuming the fogs are on a Migsel light bar or similar, if you align them exactly with the dip beam by shining on a wall, the fogs will have to be angled upwards to coincide with the dip beam and therefore will dazzle other drivers. I guess this method will work OK if the wall is far away.

I aligned mine by riding the bike to a very dark stretch of road and adjusting them to give a good spread of light on the road. Then checked to make sure they are set slightly lower than the dip at, say, 20 metres using the 'wall method'.

Thanks for your answer Glynn, tried to write it so as not to leave myself open, it seems I failed miserably.....

I did the same and then had to realign again when I got my HID's to get the best from them.

Trial and error I'm afraid.
