Question regarding fog lights on ML550

Hi there,

I've been a regular lurker on here for quite some time yet this is my first thread. I've been on Benzworld.org for years though but unfortunately that forum is as dead as a door knob.
Just picked up an '08 ML550 last Friday and it's our third ML. This one unlike the ML500 i had back in 06the has the standard AMG Sport Pack. This includes the Hella Dynaview Evo 2 fog lights in the front bumper. I used them briefly last Friday and I noticed that the beam aims high in the sky(above my low beams) and doesn't illuminate the ground out all.

Does anyone know of an adjustment for this?

Also, anyone know what offset would be needed to clear the brakes? Thinking of getting some 21's off a gl or some 22's that came optional.

Thanks,
Kirk

^^Yes, I realized that. However, the ML550 and ML63 AMG share the exact same front bumper and therefore, fog lights.

The issue was resolved, my fog lights were installed upside down from the factory(go figure). Ten minutes and a torx driver later, fog lights worked like a champ.

Mods feel free to delete this thread.

Thanks,
Kirk
