Fog lamps, '99 SLE
Replaced the bulbs with SilverStars today.
What are the little twisty deals under the lamp sockets? Is that some sort of adjustment?

You need to maintain those adjusters, too. When I got my 98, they were just rusty bits with plastic bits surrounding them. I would highly recommend a light coating of grease, and a few turns back and forth once or twice a year.

Mine move freely, but then I'm a Californian, where ice and snow (and salt on the roads) are all unknown.
I knew there was some reason houses here cost $750K.
