There is an Allen screw on the small panel holding the fog lamp. Takes a 6mm Allen wrench (or spanner
).
What is the purpose of this screw? It acts like some adjustment, but I could't see anythng adjust.

think i've read something about this screw being used to adjust the vertical direction at which the fog light points. Not 100% sure but it makes the most sense to me

I tend to agree, but I never saw it move. It is not easy to turn with a conventional Allen wrench. I may cut one down so I can use it with a socket.
