Default fog/driving lights

I have a 2023 xlt with fog/driving lights. Anyone else have lights that seem non-existent when turned on? I even shut the headlights off to see how much light they put out and do not see anything but about 3 ft to the left of the drivers side and about 2 ft from the front of the truck.

They probably need adjusting, try the search function as there was a thread on how to adjust.

Yeah, there is an adjustment you can get at under the inner fender well liner. Maybe someone will come along and remember the thread. Mine where way low and once adjusted work just fine.

@Drpii Okay found the post, it was on another Forum. Link is HERE

Do not have to take tires etc off to get at the adjustment, just a couple of the liner screws to pull back the fiber liner a bit. Read though the provided link and I think you will see a big improvement, I did.

They are fog lights, from factory, your description sounds about right. they are meant to have yellow color to penetrate fog better so others can see you better. they are NOT designed to light up the road.
We just had some pretty foggy weather for a week, you will appreciate that your low beam and fog lights are pointed low in foggy weather, they will blind you if pointed high.

actually mine is more of a driving light because they are not yellow at all, and the point towards the ground so do not even light up anything in front of the vehicle, looks like they just need adjusted, but thank you for your response

Adjust just high enough to fill in behind the Low beam bottom area.
Good luck.

Depending on your options they also turn on and off as turning lights. Like Bluegrass said adjust them up high enough so you can see them but not high enough so they glare back at you. They do have a good cut-off so they do not blind other drivers.

I have had no issues with mine adjusted either in fog, night time or having other drivers flash their lights at me because of maladjusted fog lamps.
