Default Adjustment for APT fogs

Alright I have been getting flashed alot by people when driving the tC, and my friend told me that my drivers side APT fog light is blinding people when driving down the road. I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to aim these down so that they're not blinding?

the only thing you can really do is push the bulb down as much as possible then tighten up the screw that holds it in.

I'm unsure on how the light output is on these, but would it be possible to make an overlay like bluebat does to help fix HID in reflector housings to keep the cut off better on these fogs?

no he is saying that people get bluebats overlays when they have hids in like the 07 headlights to help with the cutoff. So he is asking could you do that with the apts.

My passenger side light does tend to aim more towards the center of my car and helps to blind people, I'm sure the 3000k HID's don't help either. hehe

Although they came in handy this past saturday night on the expressway by Indy. Some a-hole was cruising at 70mph (the speed limit) in the left lane and wouldn't get over to the right. I put the fogs on and proceded to blind him for the next 10min. Haha it was great!
