Default Aligning Fog Light Level?

Anyone know how to align the fog lights on a 951? Mine seam to be spotting birdies. When I turn the fogs on they are pointing up into the trees. Although I know they are aiming too high, I am not sure how low to set them. Any suggestions on how to calibrate the level of the fog lights.

There are two midlle screws, or perhaps four, on the sides of the lenses. To point down, loosen the screws more, and vice versa.

It's real easy, turn the screws left and they go down, turn them right and they go up, they should be towards the ground, at the most 15 feet in front of you, do it facing a wall so you can see and balance out the two...

Somewhat off topic, but does anyone know if the driving lights in the euro fogs have a different beam pattern than the fog lights?

Yup. Fogs have a wide dispersion while the drivers have a narrower beam throwing light farther down the road. PIAA drivers have a 20 degree beam width but I don't know the beam width on Porsche drivers. the above is from my own experience with my euros.
