Just blacked out headlight housing, Need opinions on fogs
Hey guys, so yesterday i got my headlight housing blacked out. Its a low gloss black, looks like satin black. The dude that did it for me never did fog lights, so i told him its cool if he just does the headlights. Now that they are installed, they look good but i feel like its incomplete since the fogs are not matching. Its not a huge deal but im pretty **** about these things. I dont feel like going back and taking off my bumper and all again. So i think im gonna get a foglight overlay from aerotect.
Heres what the headlights look like. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics
Its slightly less noticeable in these pics.
So my choices are 2 different shades of blue, yellow, or 3 different tints. or of course leave them alone.

^all of them can be seen here besides the darker blue.
right now im thinking yellow or a medium/light tint. I use to hate the look of the yellow foglights. I dont even understand why people like them, but its been growing on me...If someone can inform me iyo why yellow looks good please do. Im usually all about matching fogs. Btw one of my foglights arent working right now and im too lazy to replace it. So consider that these fogs will be viewed without light passing through lol.
Thanks

I def think that yellow is the way to go. People like yellow because in winter when it is snowing the yellow doesn't shine back in your face like a higher color temp light. It does make a big difference especially in rain and snow. Also it does look awesome! Hope this helps Good luck.

If you dont plan on using your fogs, I'd black them out and call it a day.
I personally dont like the yellow fogs (tint or bulbs)
I seem to be the only one on here that doesn't like the yellow.
If you are going to replace the bulbs at some point and use them, I'd tear them down and paint them to match your headlights, and get bulbs to match too.
get an inexpensive HID kit. looks great and very functional.

Here is my yellow overlays, looks pretty badass with my 3000k HID's. i like them a lot and yellow cuts through rain and fog better than any other color which is why some people have yellow headlights in Europe.

for HIDs? or just standard yellow halogen bulbs? If the latter:

Any ~3000K HID kit with the proper bulb type should also work. I'd aim for a reputable brand though, to save you the headache.
