Since you only want LED fog lights, I would suggest ordering these:KickinPups2 wrote:Just looking for some guidance and insight as to what fog lights I should replace with my stock OEM.My old G had the H11 but I eventually changed them out to a HID kit and seemed to work great. Yet my 07M35 HID lights don't even seem to be remotely close to how bright the HID's were in my G so I'm looking to offset that lack of design with some "BRIGHT" fogs...Not to mention I live in the North East and winter is right around the corner and I would love to get them installed before it's to late. Here is some Info
Currently low beam is D23 Osrams (http://www.motivemods.com/OSRAM-CoolBlu ... bi-d2s.htm)
High Beam is a Osram night breaker+
Fog is OEM....<Thinking that's why they are so dim
Now I'm not looking to add a HID kit to the M just maybe a really bright bulb for night driving in the snow and bad weather...Any suggests as to what type (Anyone who lives around NY,MASS,NH area some input of there experience is greatly appreciated)
Also Im sure this has been asked but is there anyway to move the low beam light up? It seems be just point straight at the ground..
Does this work for cars with AFS as well?? My car's headlights are aimed to the ground, and the dealer charged me $100 just to tell me that they can't aim them up anymore, because the load sensor is already at the maximum setting.pedsemdoc wrote:-whoa!KickinPups2 wrote:I spent well over 20k in my old G
now i see why you're not looking to spend moolah
headlight adjustment:
don't know about a better fog light bulb-- some have used LEDs, but not very bright...have to check out search to see, it's been a while since i've seen that thread, so it would be waay back in the threads
Seems like it should work since AFS controls angle and height of headlights in relation to wheel turning, but if they are still pointing in the wrong direction, with wheel straight, you might have a problem with any part of your system, especially if your adjustment doesn't keep--aiming motor, swivel actuator, or steering angle sensor (just a few of the components on my quick scan of the shop manual), but I am definitely not an expert.GenericM35 wrote:Does this work for cars with AFS as well??

I tried a different dealer, but they basically told me that it would cost $100 just to take a look at it I don't have another M to compare it to, but comparing it to my brother's GS, and to my old Maxima (from memory), the lights on my car are aimed significantly lower.pedsemdoc wrote:Seems like it should work since AFS controls angle and height of headlights in relation to wheel turning, but if they are still pointing in the wrong direction, with wheel straight, you might have a problem with any part of your system, especially if your adjustment doesn't keep--aiming motor, swivel actuator, or steering angle sensor (just a few of the components on my quick scan of the shop manual), but I am definitely not an expert.GenericM35 wrote:Does this work for cars with AFS as well??

The shop manual on the AFS system is many pages, like 58, since it is a complex system--you may want to try a different dealer if they still seem low, especially if you can compare them to someone else's M.

I just looked this morning at my headlights (I have the AFS and Xenons) and the little adjustment screw/gear is there--I didn't mess with it because my headlights are exactly how I want them, so don't know turning which direction causes the light to point upwards or downwards, but you'll prolly need to experiment.GenericM35 wrote:Can anyone with the AFS confirm if it's as simple as turning a screw? I would really appreciate it. I would do it myself, but I'm not exactly sure where to look, and I'm not exactly even sure how to take off the engine cover.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll probably try to adjust them next weekend. Does it require the removal of any of the covers? Do you know what kind of screwdriver I would need?pedsemdoc wrote:I just looked this morning at my headlights (I have the AFS and Xenons) and the little adjustment screw/gear is there--I didn't mess with it because my headlights are exactly how I want them, so don't know turning which direction causes the light to point upwards or downwards, but you'll prolly need to experiment.GenericM35 wrote:Can anyone with the AFS confirm if it's as simple as turning a screw?

It's not to much to have them "super bright" I drive on a lot of back roads without any lighting and currently my OEM ones are so dull I can barely ever tell when there on even during rain storms...The new ones I ordered should be here within the weeks So Ill post some pics of before and after in the cabin and outside.antzrus wrote:Fog lights are supposed to be aimed low and dim. What's with the "bright light" idea? I drive through blinding blizzards with the OEM bulbs-slow-dim (no glare)- and safe. Bright fog lights?
pedsemdoc is absolutely correct! For anyone who wants to know, I got the headlights aimed just now for free at the Infiniti dealership while they were changing my accessory belt. There ARE in fact aiming screws, and you DON'T need to even remove the engine covers to access them. They are silver in color, and are located above the highbeam area of the headlight on each side (you might have to slightly remove the cover on top of the headlight to see them). I have seen so much misinformation on this topic in the past that I had actually given up on having them re-aimed for a long time since the general consensus was that cars with AFS cannot be aimed manually. ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.pedsemdoc wrote:I just looked this morning at my headlights (I have the AFS and Xenons) and the little adjustment screw/gear is there--I didn't mess with it because my headlights are exactly how I want them, so don't know turning which direction causes the light to point upwards or downwards, but you'll prolly need to experiment.
