>'02 Se-R Spec V

I had the dealer install PIAA H3 bulbs in my Spec V and also had them
reconnect the fog light switch to allow me to turn them on or off
independent of low beam/high beam settings.

I also asked them to adjust them for aim as they were originally pointed
ridiculously low.
Everything is now fine and I have had no problems.

One small note:
I have the fogs aimed slightly lower than the low beams. However if I drive
at night and leave them on, people high-beam me, indicating ( I guess) that
they put out a lot of glare.
As they ARE fog lights, I guess I should not be using them as driving
lights, so my fault..

With our best regards,
