Seeking advice on yellowing Fogs
 
What's the best way to yellow fog lights (yellow exterior film).
I think I'd like the look on my wdp TLS.

Should I just ask the auto tint guy if he has something?

There's a group buy in the Vendor Sale section. Rockblocker makes all kinds of film protectors, including colored ones for the foglights. :) I bought the clear ones from him so my foglight lenses would have some protection against rocks (I've already had two cracked lenses). They are easy to apply and are holding up well. :thumbsup:

Check these out... here are some pictures, the thread has a lot more

I've seen the ones from Rockblocker and they dont seem to appear that yellow. This is more yellow than that. Probably cheaper as well by far, only cost me $3.

and slammed right? 3m invisi-bra :D lol The yellow film i got from the art store is clamped on by that bracket.

Would that stand up to a car wash, or even a light breeze?

Bxscig 07-13-2005 09:02 PM

it stood up to 5 months, 3 of which was the winter and a bad winder it was up here in NYC this year. I put two layers of the yellow film for a deeper look. My brother did it to his RSX.

I was thinking of doing the same thing to my fogs as well, the yellow look in WDP but didnt do it yet. I was debating maybe to do the new 3000K HID's that are out now, that are just deep yellow. I would think it would give the appearance of the GS yellow fogs.

There are a lot of options and some may be cheaper such as the tint recommended from the art store here. Our product not only offers yellow color, but actual light protection from breakage as well. From what we hear the TL fog light is not cheap and people are constantly breaking them. Save yourself the headache and the money and get protection.

Bxscig 07-14-2005 10:05 AM

The film from the art store will most probably not protect your fog lights from a rock. It is just acetate.

Otter 07-14-2005 12:16 PM

I was looking at Rockblocker, but it seems expensive, and I'm worried I'll screw up the application, or I might not like how it looks, and I'll be out 20 bucks.

PhxAcura 07-14-2005 04:12 PM

$20 bucks isn't bad...

If you can screw up the tint you could screw our product up as well. But it would be pretty hard since it is peel and stick

Take out the fog light housing (one screw), remove the silver frame (pops right off), clean the lens surface, peel and stick. Kind of hard to mess it up. ;)

i brought the yellow fog light strip and it actually looks yellow, and is custom cut. Go check out stickercity.com they have cut outs for out fog lights, head lights, rears, and even clear for hoods to prevent rock chips. i'll see if i can post a pic of mie.

They carry the same products we do for the most part except we are a supporting vendor of the site. :thumbsup:
