Arrow Foglight adjustment recommendations?

So I just wired up 4 Pro-Comp 7" lights which are mounted on a bar on my front bumper (99 Runner). The inner two point straight ahead and the outer two point off at outward angles.

What is the "recommended" adjustment for the lights? Ahead of the low or high beams or at the same angle etc etc. I'm in Florida so everything is pretty flat as far as off-roading goes.

Thanks

I like my fog lights aimed way low, below the low beams for sure. I'll start with the light shining on a garage door and see where the low beams hit, then set the fogs a bit below that. Acid test is to get out in some fog and see what they look like. You want low enough to keep from shining up into the fog in front of you but high enough to give you enough lighted distance out front. A lot will depend on how sharp the beam cutoff is. I run two fogs below my front bumper and have them angled out to opposite sides so the two beams just meet in the center.

Thanks for the info, luckily we don't get a lot of fog here but your setup still sounds like a good starting point.
