Default how tint front fogs jdm yellow

I remember I got for my previous gyi a smoke nite shade spray to tint the tail lights. But wasn't sure how to do the front fogs since the lights get hotter and if it req'd a certain temp translucent yellow spray. Anybody already do this yet?

Thanx marc

P.s. im getting my windows tinted tommoro probaly gonna go 20% in front and 15 in the back. Love dark tint on a white car.

For 100.00 foe everything or a companybtht sells the same film but im 2 foot sheets not precut and for both colors its only like 50 bucks cus I have to cut em to shape. Ill k eep ya informed on what I did andpics of how it comes out.

I think the spray fades after a while. I put a film over my fogs; look for lamin-x. It's not precut but it's no where near $100...

Thanx guys. I love this forum I used to do forums when I was younger but everybody wanted to argue and ***** at each other and this forum seems pretty helpful and mature. I did find the place that sells lamin x for the yellow fogs which is good cus they are here in atlanta. Plus im gonna buy the smoked tail light tint from them also. But for my headlights I do have a hid kit instaled in my GTI jetta which im taking out this weekend to rerun the lease on it. But any body sell the hid bulb holder to fit in the stock lights or do I need to drill and silicone it in. The betta forum sold hid headlight conversion bulb holders which made the install easier.

Thanx

9006 lows 9005 highs and 9006 fogs on your GS. Just buy the bulb pair you need and swap the ballasts over from the other car. You won't need to srill anything at all

Yeah I just ordered the over in yellow also. So what do u think about the fogs yellow and the parking DRL lights yellow with HID 6000k low beam conversions. Plus updated my engine in my avatawith my new intake. What ya think. I do like the jdm look. And after that its a greedy lip spoiler and a factory oem sport wing and some smoke vent visors to compliment the 20% tint I just did.


Thanx marco
