Default Yellow Sticker?

Instead of purchasing hardware to achieve the Yellow Fog Light look on the GS, has anyone ever had experience with a stick on "Yellow Tint".

I saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

I saw those the other day too.....I was wondering the same thing. I like the protection for the headlights and it would save me some money on yellow housings.

Did you get to see it physically? On the web, it looks nice and all, but wondering how it would look at night shining out.

Back when I was looking for the yellow effect for the fogs, there are the yellow cover you can buy that fits over the bulb. However, you have to go to the motorcycle shops, they have them.
Make sure they fit over the 9006 bulb.
I didn't buy them when I found a trade for my yellow.

it won't peel off coz' of heat if they are stuck on well. it's just like clear bra, if done right, you don't see them peeling off coz' of engine heat or under the sun

for output, it's ok, but it won't have the intense yellow look as the oem yellow fogs. i have that on my sc430

i bought my tinted taillights from these guys, and my inner headlight tint...they were somewhat difficult to install, taking about 4 hours in total because you had to use a hair dryer to warm the plastic sheets to make them more bendable....however, i'm very happy with the look. i dont have any experience with the front fogs though. they would probably be easier to apply. oh yeah, one more thing. the blue tint on the inner headlights dont make the light look blue at night...

some pics

I don't see much difference with the fog lights. And both don't seem to be as yellow as the GS are. Am I correct? Sheesh, nice ride...

I want the clear ones for the head lights and the yellows for the fogs. That way my lights would be protected. $44 is a decent price for the set for the headlights and fogs....well I thought so anyways.

Just make sure you have the patience to install it.
By the looks of it, it's gonna be a real b*tch to install all-nice-and-Lexussy.

yellowrace is right, this is really really time consuming and tedious. i didnt even try to install the protective cover over the main headlights because they are so contoured....it would have been extremely difficult because the plastic sheets are stubborn and hard to mold into shape.
