Fog Light Housing Removal?

Does anybody know how to aim the fog lights and/or remove the entire housing from the bumper? I am trying to convert to HID and want to remove the bulb shield within the housing. They are also aimed quite low. Thanks in advance!

don't remove the bulb shield b/c that would cause a lot of glare...

They're suppose to be aim'd low. They are fog lights, not meant to be aim high and used as low beams. As far as the housing of the fog itself. You'd have to get behind the bumper because they are clipped on basically. To remove the shield you would need to get inside the fog light itself I believe.

There are 3 mounting points that use screws to keep the fog housings and the bumper together.

To aim them, the back of the fog housings have a hexagon shaped metal bolt that you can rotate with the proper socket. This is the same aiming mechanism the headlights use.

Thanks for the replies. I don't plan on aiming them too high, but since I replaced the H8's with HID's, they don't match up with the low beam cut off. I just need to raise them a little. Thanks again
