Did you try looking in the how-to sticky? This took me less than 30 seconds.

You just have to remove your fogs, bake them, open them, drill holes in the reflector, jb weld them in and put it all back together. For someone who had never done that kind of stuff before, it was not easy for me.

drill holes in the reflector? i just took mine out. looked alot better if you take out the reflectors..imo.
if you think about it...it's just remove, open, glue, reassemble..

but it is a little nerve wracking baking....

Because 3000k doesn't produce enough yellow for some of us.

Horrid comparison...
Just 3000k:


3000k w/Capsules:

The reflector or the glare shield? If you remove the reflector, why bother even having foglights? All it would be is a blinded blob of light not focused on anything. If you are talking about the glare shield, you could remove that. I had to remove mine because I used 9006 capsule which are too long, though I wish I had a way to keep them.

Me too. After the install there was not enough room to reinstall the glare shield in my fogs.
