I have a couple of questions if ya'll don't mind my hijack... Who makes a good lamp replacement for the MS6s fogs?

And also, how difficult is it to re-aim the stock headlights?

Not sure about the fogs. I went with LED's and it won't match the stock look at all.

Re-aiming the headlights is simple though. Pop the hood and look at the headlight nearest to the fender (pic is of passenger side). Just twist this screw here and they will move up and down.

There is another adjustment screw even closer to the fender on the picture that I posted above. You can twist these things by hand even though they require a torx tool. I'd try that option first, if it doesn't help I bet something is loose.

Well, I'm a noobie - this is my first post and I'm not a real car nut, so hope I don't sound too much like a complete idiot.

I just got a 2007 Mazda 3i (33k Front Range miles - no flood damage, Yay!) after my 1990 Mazda 626 with 247k miles gave up the ghost (*sob*). It was in great condition but after replacing the transmission it still wasn't working right, its time had come.

Anyway, The car is pretty basic and I want to do a few things to "spiff" up the M3, one of which is to add some fog lights (there aren't any). For the most part they are for safety when I drive to Denver over Monument in the winter snow. Any recommendations on styles, brands, and/or retailers would be most welcome. Maybe stock is OK?

I'm going to have them installed (I'm Mr. 10 thumbs) at a local shop in Colo Spgs (Elite) along with some other things like a satellite radio receiver and additional gauges. BTW if anyone has pointers to threads on these two subjects, that would be great.

Also, I have the stock headlamps, I'm curious about an HID upgrade (i.e. how much cost and effort to do).

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
