Aiming Fog Lights

I had my accord fogs installed over the weekend and when i turned them on last night they were shining on the second floor of the houses as i was driving down the street. Obviously aimed too high and too far to the right and left. Does anyone know how to adjust these?

I install these if anything is interested.

OP, there is a 10MM socket on the back of the housing and just adjust it there. You can take the wheel well clips and the one screw on the wheel well for your bumper, peel it back a bit and reach in from there.

I didnt put these in so i will try to find the the socket you are talking about; is it easy to find? is it right on the actual light? Also, i have the a spec lip on the front so do i need to take that off also? Which way to i turn the socket to adjust the aim?Sorry for the questions but like i said a shop put them in for me so i am not the least bit familiar with the lights.

Also, i got the vinyl you sent the week before last and had that put on; it looks great! thanks for your help with that.

I'm assuming its the bolt thing. I never put two and two together that this was the aiming bolt.

This is how it looks on the 07-08 base foglights. The arrow points to where the screwdriver would go.

Thanks Nate but i dont have the 07-08 base fogs; i bought the 03-05 accord fogs and like i said i didnt even look at them so i have no idea if the back looks the same. I literally brought the unopened box to the shop and they did everything. I am wondering if i have to completely remove the bumper and aspec lip to get to the adjustment. Can i reach it without removing the bumper? Also, any idea which way to turn the socket (clockwise, counter clockwise) to adjust the height?

Yeah I know you have the Accord foglights, just giving you a reference pic to show you what to look for since they should be similar. I'm assuming you should be able to jack your car up from the front and the slots should be accessible to you, but i'm not sure. I'm going to give this a go tonight once I get home.

I hope you didn't take that the wrong way, I appreciate you trying to help, let me know if you are able to reach them by just jacking up the car. I would prefer not removing the bumper if I don't have to.
