Default Yellow Tinted Fog lights

Just wondering if anyone ever tinted their fog lights yellow?
Or change the bulb in the fog light to a yellow H3?
Any pics?
thanks

Yes - one of my early mods with LED's upgrade. Used Super Yellow H3's from iJDMTOY. I dropped the front bumper because I couldn't feel my way to manage the clip that holds the bulb in. After the first time, dropping the front bumper is pretty quick though. Don't forget to push real hard until you feel a snap to get the headlight washer hose firmly connected again though ...

(looks better wtih the clearcorner marker though)

I do not like yellow fog lights. Just my opinion.

I might go to white when I upgrade the bases to round LED fogs or something more modern. I typically only turn them on when there is fog and they seem to cut through quite well. I rather like the yellow fog look though ...

Optically yellow is correct for fog lights. All of the versions of white to blue are for driving. Technically, we have driving lights not true fog lights.

I tinted mine with yellow ebay tint since my 3000K HIDs weren't yellow enough, in my opinion... now the combo works perfectly and looks good!

lights on

lights off


Hope that helps!

your car looks great.
What kind of camera/lens did you shoot it with?

Thanks man! And I'm using a Canon 60D and the kit 18-135mm lens, looking into better glass, although the kit lens has proven to be quite nice! I wanna pick up a 50mm or a nicer wide angle...
