As it turns out, the foglights are aimed stupidly high and make a ton of glare. I'm going to mess with them tomorrow when it's light out.

Here's the projectors without the headlight lenses:

I think they're aimed too low now. They look fine in this because of the slope of the driveway. They're supposed to drop 2-2.5" at 25 feet, and I think mine drop closer to 6". They definitely hit the ground within 75 feet from the car. It's proving difficult to find a place that's level and has a wall.

Still, the rotation seems fine at least, which was my big concern. I just need to tighten the long machine screws to aim them up, and then put on my ghetto coolsaber57 shrouds (thin aluminum sheet bent around the front of them), then seal them back up.

Notice how the light was a big glob in the middle, but a very narrow beam, and now it's much wider.
@ coolsaber57 shrouds.

Sweet, I'm famous for being ghetto, awesome

I'm going to put MDX shrouds on mine
