Default Yellow Film Tint for Factory Fog Lights Pics

For those asking about this Yelloy Fog Mod, I purchased a bulk 12"x12" yellow film from www.stickercity.com. Removed the factory Fogs, and cleaned them up real good.
Applied the film then cut them out after I got them to stick. re-installed everything. Here is the finished product.



Overall I was satisfied with the mod, I did also do the Fog Light mod, and noticed how the yellow beam dispersed more light around the road. Street signs can be lite up that the white stock could not do. There is some loss of light output but not much really 15%?
At night the yellow is not very visible from far, only closer is it more Yellow. I would recommend this mod to anyone looking for this same look. I will post some more pics when I get ahold a better Camera.

did you consider getting some yellow fog lights like mtecs or nokya before you did this mod? you prolly could of kept the lighting output, and maybe safer. was the tint meant to be used on headlights? nice mod tho

1. The film is sticky, use combination of alchohol and water when applying. its like window tint but thicker.
2. Yes
3. No I did the factory fog light mod, able to switch them on at any point by themselves. Relay mod

Hey Max, the pics of your yellow fog light mod look awesome. Did you remove the fogs by going under the front bumper, unscrewing a couple bolts, and popped the fogs out and away from the bumper? I may consider something like that for the fogs in my '01 ES

BTW are you coming to the Orlando meet this Saturday (11/5)? It's still on, and we're expecting more than 50 cars to show up that day. Would also love it if other ES's come out too

Removed the bottom shield bolts, only a few enough to move the shield over, There was a clip that you just squeeze together and 1 bolt 10m i think to remove each fog. Very very easy. 01 fogs might be different. I also used that PlasticX creme which cleaned them up very well. Great Stuff.

As for the meet, I might make it, but I'm actually tiling my bathroom up and putting up new walls Bad excuse but It needs to be done. Hurricane

Very sorry to hear you sustained some damage from Hurricane Wilma, but glad to hear you're well. I know S. Florida is going thru a rough time right now, but all that matters is putting your life back on order and starting fresh, so to speak. I totally understand if you need time to rebuild your area, but if you happen to catch a break and have time to come up for the meet, let me know. We are planning to raise funds at the meet in support of those down south affected by Wilma, so we are certainly looking out for one another in any event
