Question Upper BJ grease - which one goes where?

I have a pair of new upper ball joints (Toyota OEM for '98 Tacoma) and they come with two little packs of grease. One looks to be a clear plastic pack with yellow grease inside. The other is a clear blue plastic pack with (probably) white grease inside. The FSM doesn't say where they go. I called my local dealer and they have no clue. I called TRDparts4U (where I got the parts) and no one is answering the phone this afternoon. Anyone have a clue? Obviously one pack is to go inside the rubber boot, and the other is to probably go on the shaft that slips into the steering knuckle (spindle).

Thanks

OK, a couple of people I have talked to say the yellow grease is for the boot, and the white is for the stud (that goes in the sleeve).
