I ask the tech when he came over last night to finish "phase 2" of the bike about adjusting the foglights.

after thinking for a bit he said the best way was probably doing it the way they do it at the shops

when they are in the crate the entire front end is off inside the crate, he said to take the entire front end off and find exactly where to adjuting screws are then tyr moving them then or seeing how/if you can get to them after the front goes back on..

said there was about 6-8 screws in various places then kind of a tilt a wiggle deal..

ummm mine will stay where they are I think unless there is an easier way of going about it

sorry no adjustments to the fog lights. My 2010 rt radio and cov. came with no fog lights. after my wife saw the 2011 with fog lights and extra chrome she had the dealer to order them. I installed my self. all plug and play. but no adjustments to them at all. Head lights yes,

mine RT Ltd came with them stock, but there has to be some sort of adjustment cause 20 feet in front is just not enough light

besides there is an "optional " cable you can buy..

Mr. Midshipman has been having an interesting conversation with Burp about them..

hehe

My foglights also are pretty low... I actually use them more during the daytime to (hopefully) keep the loonies out of my lane...

You caught me!!

Actually; if you ask my Missus I'm sure that she can come up with a lot more "interesting" ways to describe me!

So back to the foglights for a moment...
Is there any way to shim them and their pod's mount positioning in order to change where they're aimed without making them look silly?

lol

i would assume you can do that but that means taking the whole thing apart

Somewhere in there, there is an adjustment screw. BRP said so. Just not cable to make it simple. They can be adjusted. Just have to get in there and find it. I don't think you'd have to shim the whole assembly.

I think I have the shop manual on my laptop here. I'll have to give a look sometime when I have more time to look. I'll let ya know what...if anything... I find.
