Yeah, how are the smoked fogs at night? Any loss any light output? I was thinkign about getting them but I was afraid of too much loss of light output.

Hey Frank

Looks good, but wouldn't you think fogs light out put would be hindered if you put smoked overlay? The reason I put yellow is because yellow cuts through fog better for foggy situations.

Well anyway, looking good, I see that you installed your spoiler so we can look different now.

aerotect told me that the smoke for the fog lights cut down significantly on output, and it looks like it does...

By definition it HAS to. Red film on the rear turn signals I get (in fact I'm waiting on my film to arrive from aerotect) but smoked fog lamps is another one of those "mods" I'll just shake my head at.

i did a quick photochop of your first pic and thought if this kind of smoke would look better?
its "smoked" everywhere except where the foglight actually shines through.

Here is a pic of my red outs. My tails are no longer like this though since I recently smoked them. More pics will come as soon as I pick up my car from K&N.
