Although some fog lights are not set and are set at the factory, you have the possibility to modify their setting so that they light up more or less high. This equipment, which is not obligatory on an Bmw Z4, allows you to greatly boost your visibility.

Furthermore, fog lights that are not correctly adjusted will surely affect the drivers you pass and may increase the risk of an accident. It is therefore crucial, both for you and other users, that you have your fog lights correctly adjusted.

  • Place your vehicle on a flat floor with a clean wall in front of you, preferably between 5 and 10 meters from it.
  • Measure the distance from the ground to the top of your fog lamp (on your Bmw Z4), write this distance on the wall in front of your car and mark it with a construction tape for example.
  • Switch on the fog lights on your Bmw Z4 and verify that the beam of the lights is less than or equal to the mark you just marked on the wall.
  • If they light higher than this trace, throughout the engine compartment you will have to use the adjustment screws to lower the lighting of your fog lights (these screws are generally found above your fog lights, you should find them very easily, they will be more or less accessible depending on the year and the options of your Bmw Z4)
