Looks nice! How long did it take to receive the caps? Some here have said they are "hard to reach."

I believe it is a 8mm socket you need to aim the fog lights.

im sorry i wrote it incorrectly...not how to aim the beam but WHERE to aim the beam. There is a sticky on where to aim the lowbeams onto a 25' wall but not the fogs.

This is incorrect. Check out Irish44j's thread on the yellow caps.
Yellow fogs on the left, capsules on the right

Thanks for the info. changed my mind on just getting the bulbs. soon as i get my cracked fog lamp replaced i'll invest in some caps to go with my hyper white bulbs.

BTW, what size did you order? Irish went with 9005/6 instead of the H3.

i need the H3 size for '02 fogs....the '00-'01 require the 9005/9006..for your 2000 you should get the 9005/9006....(at least thats what i read)

i wonder if they just slide in or what? some people say they had to open up their fogs. i hop not cus last time i tried that, i didnt have any luck and ended up crackin them.
