Default Smoked out the fogs today

Not sure how i feel about it yet... I like how it looks when they are off but when the lights are on there is a decrease in output. It was only $2.69 for the film just gotta see what it looks like at night. May spend a lil more for a more transparent film.

They are just yellow bulbs clear housing. There is film that is as dark but shows clear as if it werent there when the lights are on. And yes there is also a lighter shade all together.

Thanx - and i agree it is just for looks for us. I think i've had one foggy morning since at least October. I wanted yellow capsules but after two failed trades i decided this route.

The whole black out effect goes with your car bro - could not tell fogs exist until you turn it on.

BTW - let me know if you want to sell that grille

Not something that I would do. I'm not into tinting headlights, foglights or taillights. I like maximum light output.

I suggest the 'light smoke' versions of those. The ones you got seem to be the pitch black ones with next to no transparency.
