Default Do Your Fog Lights Look Like This ?

I noticed something the other day, my fog lights cast a weird shape on the pavement, i was wondering if this was due to the drop or this is how they look standard. Also i read that some people adjust their headlights after lowering their car, it never crossed my mind until i saw a thread. Is this necessary ?

That's pretty interesting, and I'll take a look at mine. I would think that fog lights, mounted very low on the car, are aimed slightly downward off of a horizontal line to avoid reflection from the mist back to the driver. Lowering the car might well account for the light pattern you see on the pavement. You should check to see what kind of a beam is projected onto a wall as you approach it on a level surface.

I have a feeling its due to the drop. But im taking the car to the dealer on Monday because i was listening to music earlier tonight (fairly loud) and i heard a loud popping noise and now i have no audio what so ever. I dont know if i blew a fuse or what, i have the Mark Levinson package. The radio / sat / bluetooth, nothing works.
