I dont have any experience with those bulbs sorry. But i do have yellow fogs on my 06. All i did was buy some pre cut yellow vinyl from ebay for like $6 or so. Took me 10 minutes to do (first time applying vinyl) and also did my red out tail lights with vinyl from ebay as well.

In all honesty , since your getting bulbs that are yellow anyway, you may well just save yourself some cash and buy some vinyl instead. Much easier and cheaper and it looks great in my opinion. People always ask how where I got the yellow fogs from and i just tell them its just vinyl from ebay i got for 5 bucks lol





Dark pic, but this is how they look.





Reflection pic, but this is essentially how it looks with the Lights on

Sorry fellas I meant those housings in particular.. I have regular clear housings with a 3000K HID kit installed with yellow overlay as well. My issue is that the outside of my foglight housings were oxidized and more so pitted and chipped. I used a polish to remove some of the tarnish but its not the greatest still. I could wet sand them and go that route but my driver side foglight is in rough shape I'm not sure it would be worth the time.

My thoughts were that those yellow housings (no bulbs come with them) would be a nice swap in relation to what I have right now with the yellow vinyl..

I have no idea how they're fastened to the bumper either so I don't know if i'd have to drop the bumper to change them out or not..

ooh gotcha. you MIGHT be able to remove them by peeling back the wheel well, but i'm not sure. they are just screwed in. i tightened mine when i dropped my bumper to swap my headlights

That's what I did when I vinyled mine. You do have to drop the scuff plates under the bumper, then peel the wheel well back before removing the housings. Easy enough to do, as I am not mechanically inclined!!!

F sport bumber.

Only reason I went with tint is if I wanted to go back to stock I can peel it off. Also because my friend owns vinyl tinting business so it was free

I just mess up mine - I followed the instruction but somehow the vinyl just doesn't conform to the curve of the stock fog light. Agh....what a waste.....I suck at this.....
