Yes: there are adjustment screws top and side, they have a screw slot/cross rather than the hexagon head of the three fixing bolts, and they pass through the black plastic lamp housing.

Basically the side one does side to side, the top one does up/down.

And they are FOGlights, basically useless

There are THEE mounting points, 10mm bolts. On earlier classics, one also does the indicator inboard mounting

The TWO adjusters, one at the side, one at the top, iirc, ALSO have cross-point screwdriver holes in their 10mm heads.

Cleaning up with a stiff brush helps to identify them.

Remember that this is ONLY for actual OE foglights, branded SUBRAU. Other lights are aftermarket and not the same.

Remember also that foglights are a) useless, and b) chav if you put 'em on any time EXCEPT in fog, when a) is invoked again LOL

The first pic is an adjuster. It is quite different from the other three.

And if you have chance, I'd have the others out and replaced by M6 x 25 or 30 bolts before it's too late and you can't get 'em out

Maybe there's only one adjuster, I could have sworn there were two, it's been ten years since I binned mine for driving lights. I gave ther fogs away.
