Adjust fog lights

Hey I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the fog lights in an 07 ss/sc the reason is is because I installed HID in the fogs and the passenger side is pointed more towards the ground than the drivers side and I just want to make them the same and level is there a way to do that thanks

No, you can get to the adjuster from the front of the car, its just over the lens.

take the bulb back out, look inside the actual lense, make sure the metal light block off plate is still level
