I hae seen people talk about putting a yellow film over their foglights. Where can I purchase it at? Is it expensive? Thanks!

You could go out to the hobby store and see if they have the film..or just buy 3000k HIDs for your fogs

Thanks, IndecentSC. So, do I just go to the hobby store and ask for yellow film? Is that the actual name? I am going the "cheap route".

i highly suggest going with some kinda 3m aerotect type material..
if u use other non uv proof or heat proof product it'll just bubble and
get all cloudy within a few weeks..

clearshield, 3m, venture and stuff are designed for what you're
asking to do..

Well if you're going the cheap route. Tamiya clear yellow hobby paint works. I just used a roller to roll it on. Then took a little polish and buffed it smoother a little. Holds up fine, doesnt burn, can't notice any fading and it wont cost you more then 5$ for 2 bottles (1 extra just in case)

You'll want to put on a few coats. I noticed the perfect shade of yellow (imo) ended up being way to light when I turned the fogs on. And since it's the cheap route (until I get my Aristo bumper/fogs), I just sacraficed and have it a little darker then I'd prefer during the day with the lights off so it's a nice bold yellow at nice

u can retrofit a small yellow h3 bulb cover from an aristo foglight onto
the US spec foglight and it'll shine yellow like an aristo..
the lense will be clear still but the inside will have a yellow cover...

Thanks, gs300cky. So you had someone put it on for you? I was asking because I guess I will do mines, myself.
