If you end up doing it, I will help you out. I would just need 2 pictures to show you what I did. One picture of the front of the housing and one picture of the back of the housing. The method I used is fairly easy to do. There are tabs inside the housing that you can use to hold the capsule in place. When you open it up, you will understand what I am talking about.

Yeah, the 2000-2001 look different than the 1997-1999 fog lights, but the way to attach the capsules on the inside should be the same. I won't be able to tell until the are opened up and I can see the inside of those. The lens needs to come off (by baking), and the inside reflector needs to be unscrewed from the housing.

yup, something like this;


But, the amount of work required, i never bothered with it... Don't want to mess with baking/re-sealing my fogs! Ideally i was going to drill out the rear, drop these in, screw them into place and epoxy all around them. But then the cap is useless.

That is alot of work especially. When the lens isnt clear on my 97..... I bought some cheap yellow bulbs from ebay but might buy better bulbs now
