Headlight, foglight adjustment on european headlights.

I just recieved my euro headlights and i was adjusting them and the right FOG LIGHT is pointing way higher then the left fog light...when i squat down it seems like it would be blinding other drivers. The headlights are aimed perfect. Now there is 3 adjustment rods on my euro headlights. I was trying to mess around with the one nearest to the foglight, inner rod, but had no luck adjusting the foglight. Any suggestions?

Oh.... where does it say that .. I missed that too ???

Not tryin' to give you a hard time , just letting you know the reason you may have to keep Bumping a post is cuz lots of guys here will not answer w/o the model/yr. It is their preference and it's understandable.
.. but , as you say.. it does'nt mean a thing, so no problem..
Good Luck.

you might want to take the headlamp out, take the lense off and check to see if the adjustment screw is connected to the reflector. That happend in my w126's euros.
