New foglight bulbs

well, i just got my new PIAA super plasma bulbs. I tried putting them on the fogs and they seemed to not be a match, but just to compare the bulb directly with the HIDS, i put it in the high beams. They were an exact match to the stock hids! I think the reason why they seemed different in the fogs is because of the metal piece surrounding the bulb. It covers the 3/4 of the bulb that has the plasma lining. (3/4 of the bulb has the plasma lining and 1/4 of it is completely clear) My question is, does that metal piece serve a purpose or is there a way to remove it? cuz if it matched perfectly with the HIDS in the high beams, then they should match in the fogs right? Any comments would be appreciated...thanks

Just file the inner bulb holder down and it will fit both 9005 and 9006 sockets.
