I want to change out the bulbs on my fogs but I don't think its possible. I guess only tint film will work?

Use some yellow vinyl, they sell it on ebay/amazon. I did 3 layers so it would actually light up yellow

I think yellow looks great, on their own as DRLs. Once full lights come on the yellow clashes with the corner amber LED strip.

Is it still bright after 3 layers?
Do you have a picture of what 1 layer would look like?

Mine (the picture posted above) is one layer. Its a bit more neon yellow (think slime green) when the LEDs are on though.

How were you able to get the film on there? Is it adhesive? What's the process?

Think of it as a combination of wrapping and window tinting. Wrapping because you have to squeegee the edges and its a dry install; window tinting because the tint is MUCH thicker than regular wraps.

I'm waiting for a plug and play DRL that doesn't look like separate LEDs, whether they use a tube or frosted lens.
