Default Yellow overlay fog looks good or not

Can't make up my mind whether to get yellow overlay, do you think it looks good on a starfire pearl or not. Or just keep it clear to give a clean look?

Should I get a clear vinyl to protect the lens anyway, I have a feeling it's going to look like hell in a few years.

BTW Has anyone got pulled over for yellow fog lights ON when there is no fog in CA?

Stock4ag, i have a SP and i went with the yellow blubs, IMO on our color it looks much better than the overlays. also when your rdy to put in the blubs go here:

1. Yellow fog will give you the retro look of old IS300, I personally don't like it on an ISx250 since it has become more into a luxury class. I see peeps also uses blue vinyl to overlay it; I love the cool blue look during daytime but I don't like it when the fog is on and turning into purplish light unless you HID the fog. It is my opinion only.

2. I recommend clear-bra cover as much as you can. It hurts when you see rock chipping on bumper, hood, headlamps, and fogs. Vinyl overlay on lights serves for the same purpose.

3. I don't think you will get a ticket but maybe only a fix-it ticket. The chance really depends on how you behave and how bore and picky the police is. Again, my opinion only.

I have tried both yellow and blue. I had the yellow overlay for 3 hours, and blue tint for 3 months. Now I have the JDM o/e HID&LED fog set and I stay on crystal clean and clearbra it.

Edit: If you like yellow fogs, use yellow bulbs is alos an approach.

Did it for the contrast. Blue overlay doesn't match the BWB color. Looks cheap but the yellow contrast looks better IMO.

I think the Yellow Fog Light Overlays look good on Black and White cars only. On any other colored cars look weird to me.
