[s-cars] xenons in fog lamps?

[Sean Douglas]

Speaking of which, I just had them professionally aimed at PG
Performance. They used a Hella machine that is designed for e-code
lighting. I had previously aimed them by eye on the garage door and I
was almost spot on with height, but quite a bit off from left to right.

Only cost me $18, well worth it IMHO.
