Default How to fabricate GS fog housing?

Has anyone done or have an idea how one could duplicate the yellow housing for the foglights found on certain model GS? The light output golds a true goldish yellow only when the housing itself is a reflective yellow. Maybe like a yellow reflective sticker or spray? Any input is appreciated, thanks.

its a hard yellow plastic cap that surrounds the bulb. My mom has those fogs on her GS.

You could either get a 3000k hid kit or get the yellow film that goes over the fog light. I would get the 3000k hid kit because it will have more light output unless you get like a 4300k hid kit with the yellow film.

the 3000K HIDs would be a better pick. Yellow film makes kinda tacky especially on the SC.

o2GS430o- as soon as i clean my car i'll take some pics and post them.

Thanks guys. I have the 3000K HIDs on their way here. I've just seen some that are still not yellow enough for my taste. We will just have to wait and see I suppose.

The only drawback you will have if you use a yellow film is that you will reduce the amount of lumes that come from the fog lights. Good luck
