yea .. gotta love stock acura CL fogs .....



and i stopped by a hobby shop and picked up some of that spray tint ... couple layers of that + couple layers of clear coat gives you that.



i could have done it with the clears .. but i like the amber tint they have in the light and at night when blinking.

With black housing and NO fogs it'll look 10x better.

can't you theoretically use the yellow spray on the fog lights to make yellow foglights?

yeah but it wont be as nice as yellow bulbs.

theres Yellow HID out there....

also the yellow IS300 bulb-sleeve modification is cool too..

the film overlay is the cheaper route.
