Just thougth I'd post that I adjusted my fog lights up a little bit with excellent results. It's not the easiest thing I've ever done but, not overly difficult, either.

1. Remove the 3 screws with phillips heads to get access to the fogs from below. (not the allen screws), slide the plastic out of the way to gain access to the area... it does not need to be completely removed.
2. Loosen the 2 nuts with a 12mm wrench on the side of the fog light bracket.
3. Push the light all the way up to where the bumper molding stops it.
4. Tighten the bolts, replace the panel, you're done!

Loosening the 12mm bolts was really tough. Be careful.

The results:

WOW! the fog light DO something! They really fill in nicely and have a purpose now. Cool.

Yep - they actually WORK now! Do have a friend go down the road a piece and see if they're too high - I had to readjust mine 2x to make sure I wasn't blinding anyone, since that can be as dangerous to me as NOT seeing!

First thing I recommend to people with our lights. Stock are aimed WAY too low.

Yeah, my H3's seem just fine w/ PIAA.
Why re-aim the fogs?

Are the PiAA's tinted blue? I'm looking to replace the Fog bulbs too, maybe re-aim them. But if they're not the same colour as the head lights, do you know of a good match?

I had some other bulbs that where true white, and had a tint of blue. But they were actually not as bright. thanks
