, if you look at the radiator trim there is a hole next to the rubber bumpstops. you can either stick a phillips head screwdriver in there and turn to move your projectors up or down. you can also use a socket on the back of the of that thing to turn it as well

I've adjusted my JDM fogs a few times. Only if you want to REMOVE the fogs do you have to go inside the front airdam. This is a little easier.

To ADJUST all you have to do is look underneath the car right below the fogs. There is a small round hole in the underbody. Put a screwdriver up vertically until it sinks into the vertical adjustment screw (I recommend using a flashlight to find that screw). Turning the screw compresses a spring that angles the lamp in the housing according to how many times you turn the screw.

I have found that it is somewhat important to have your fogs aimed correctly. If aimed too high they will just glare off the fog. If aimed too low then the light will be in too close for driving purposes.

Here are installation instructions for both USDM and JDM fog lights. At the end explains how to adjust them up or down via a screw from the bottom of the bumper.
