I just upgraded to 6000k HIDs and now I'd like to get the yellow fogs to enhance the look. I looked into buying the OEM fog assembly which would be the practical approach, but I could get out a lot cheaper either buying yellow film for the inside or buying 3000k look-alike bulbs.

My question I had though is if there IS a yellow film inside the foglight, is it directly infront of the bulb shield, or on the sides? Does anyone have a picture of the inside?? I doubt it, but If I do take the film approach, which would look better from the exterior or the car, I want to do it right.

On the stock foglight I believe that the reflector inside is yellow. Personally I think the stock yellow fogs look alot better than fogs with yellow film covering them. When the stock fogs are turned off the look clear with only a bit of yellow coming through the lens.

yes it's a yellow lens right in front of the bulb, and you need to get the whole housing

personally i would get the housing if it's a choice. looks far cleaner

When i took out my fogs inside the lense inside is yellow. It IS the bulb shield. I have the yellow fogs but i am also getting the yellow overlays from aerotect here on the forum. Ill post pix of it hopefully 2morrow when it comes in

I'm waiting for mine. The film yellow is a different shade of yellow than the standard fogs. It is more HID yellow. My foglights are clear, and I will be putting the film over a clear fogs.

I just had the yellow film I got from Aerotect put on my 3GS and I love the look:

How easy is the film to apply and remove. Is it sticky on one side or did you have to use a heat gun? I want to know if its easy to remove incase I decide to buy the actual housings. Oh and how exactly do they stand up to water

I let a detailing shop do it since I had to get some other stuff done by them, but according to other people that have done this, it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. The film is sticky on one side and all you need to do is spray soapy water on that side and squeegee out the excess water while pressing the film onto the light. The use of a heatgun is optional, but recommended if you're doing the install in cold weather. It's a snap to remove. Not sure how durable they are as I just had them put on yesterday but it should last a long time.

It seems like the process of putting it on is like tint film and the clear bra. Should be quite durable

SGT

DASHOCKER is right. It's basically the same install procedure. Also, the overlay film is much thicker than my clear bra so it should be very durable.

Thanks guys.. I'll probably get that film pretty soon. This doesn't really have anything to do with the topic, but I decided since I've got peoples attention I'd ask another question.

I usually listen to rock but today I put on some music with pretty heavy bass and it sounded horrible. I looked in the trunk, under the rear deck and saw that the sub has been removed and all that's hanging in its spot is the level line converter. I figure I'll have to put an aftermarket sub in and it'll give me a chance to upgrade anyways. Do you guys know what size the OEM system sub is? It looks like maybe a ten, but I wonder how hard it would be to get it cut out to fit a 12....

It is indeed a 10.

As for film or OEM housing, I vote for housing. The film is just TOO yellow for me, but we are not talking about my car.

If money isn't an issue, get the OEM housings.
