As per a fellow members request, some pics of blue overlays on OEM fogs.
Couple of pics, sorry just on a point and shoot but I used night setting on one but can't remember which one.




one with the lights off



one day time



Gotta love brunettes with blue eyes .

Hope this helps!

Do you have the overlays on in the night shots? You cannot see any blue hues. What film did you buy, Aerotech or Rvinyl?

Yes I do, Aerotech. I also have a clear (from my clear bra set, before getting the overlays) underneath it. But yes no blue hues at night just maybe not as yellow as OEM alone.

I like the look of the Blue overlays during the day non-illuminated better than my yellow, but I still love the yellow illuminated look. These films are a nice cheap upgrade. It is also nice if they are protective film and help reduce shattering or cracking due to rocks, debris, etc.

I was hoping those night pics were more blue.

I know that Aerotect has "Ice Blue", and RVinyl has "Blue".

Perhaps RVinyl will turn out darker?

Thanks a lot tmag, really appreciated you for taking time to post those pics. Nice pics of your car there!!

But I cant see any difference in the change of color if you only put the overlays. I guess a bulb is really needed.

No worries tfz, yes if you want a change in color then a bulb is the answer.

I would take off my plate but the bumper is all scratched up from the plate holder . Plus I don't really want to deal with SJPD. I'm not sold on the painted grill yet, but we'll see.
