hids in 99-00 ek fogs

i have another set of hids i want to throw on my car for the 99-00 fogs but the problem i am having is that the bulb is too long and hits the metal shield built into the foglight....any suggestions on what ican do? it just needs the thickness of a loonie or quarter less for it to clear and not rub against the metal shield

fogs

it is the proper size my foglights are h3 bulbs and so is my kit only thing is that the bulbs are a bit longer than the regular h3 bulbs due to them being hids.....u think if i drilled a hole in the metal shield so the bulb slides threw it that it would affect the lighting pattern or quality??? or if i removed the shield completely.....

if you remove the shield completely, you will blind the incoming traffic ... even if you drill a hole the same thing will happen ... your best bet would be to set the bulbs farther back with maybe an adaper plate ...
