aiming lights and fogs... help please!

Hi all,

I have a question, it seems as my lights have lost their alignment/calibration/aim (both headlights and the foglights especially. Can anyone advice as to the inches from the ground that the light beam should be shooting on the wall?

Thanks!

I did this on my headlights too, as they were way off. Inches off the ground will be determined by the cars distance from the wall. I parked about 25ft from the wall and then pulled my other car next to it for reference and did it that way.

Here's a pretty good article that gives the specs for both the headlights and foglights. I've used it before for other vehicles, but I've never had to adjust the headlights on a CL so I don't know where the adjustment screws are.
