It is the screw in the center back botom area of the fog light housing. It is actually very easy to remove the entire housing. around that screw is a plastic retaining thing that you squeeze together with pliers and there are tow tappered stubs that stick out of the side of the housing into the bumper cover. The ones towards the center of the truck on both sides are easy to pop out with your fingers. the ones of the outside require a little more tweaking. You can stick something in from the front that will not scratch the paint, but is strong enough to push in the tab.

This also makes it much easier to replace the bulbs without getting any dirt on them

 

Ya I had the right screw and even had the housing out...I'm not sure what that screw is adjusting though...it seems to just go in and out without moving anything? Should it be all the way in or out?

 

This thread has a little info on how to remove the fog light, and pic of how it works. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t125074.html

I forget which way you turn the screw. Maybe you can take the foglight out and see which way it works. I would think that turning the screw clockwise would aim it up higher, but I could be wrong.

 

I've messed with this again today and still can't figure it out


From that thread.....:

"The adjustment screw does not need to touched. There will be a white bushing/guide for adjustment screw on the bumper still. That needs to removed and inserted on the fog lamp housing adjustment screw for inserting the fog lamp housing back in the bumper. It is difficult to align the adjustment screw on the fog lamp housing with the white bushing/guide on the bumper."


I don't really follow that.

Here's a pic of what I have..off an 06. Looks a little different than the pics in the other thread. Turning it doesn't seem to matter it..it sits somewhat loose to begin with in the bumper. And the screw with the white thing on it moves up and down as well a small amount.

 

I think you need to install the fog light back in the bumper. Then use a screw driver to work like a gear against that white plastic peice with the "teeth". It works just like the headlights. A #2 phillips screw driver meshes with the gear and it makes the screw turn which should push or pull the bottom of the fog light, which would raise or lower it.

 

Ya, I had it in there and can actualy move it with my fingers pretty easy. Regardless of where the position is on it, the lamp still wiggles around and mostly wants to point up. I guess I'll just leave it as is, the positioner doesn't seem to do anything. :disappoin

Thanks for the help.

 

that white nylon(?) washer looks like it should be sandwiched by something in the bumper. that way when you turn the adjustment screw, it will adjustment the light beam

 

Maybe the threads are stripped from that plastic nut.

 

No, it tightens and loosens up just fine, whether it's all the way tight or loose doesnt seem to matter. Maybe Ill swing by the dealership and see what they say.
