I'd be interested to see what they look like in '97 style fog lights.

This is what it looks like on my car... autopel yellow film.. i've yet to take a pix w/out the lights on...



And this is w/ Narva Fog Light bulbs, which is imo already as yellow as they come... I had PIAA yellows b4 and they weren't close.

"French fogs" (or as I like to call them "Freedom Fogs" ) are a love'em or hate'em thing. I think they look best on red.

This film that you guys buy, does it come precut to shape of the light? Also, does it go on the outside of the light, or inside the housing?

Yes, they come precut. I think the overall was $20 for the pair. It isn't too hard to apply but a bit tricky to get it just right w/ no air bubbles - which requires you to use scissors and trim the edges a bit to fit to your lights - as I assume everyone will have slightly different shapes.
They fit on the outside and actually protect your fog lens from rocks, chips, scratches. They have clear ones too if you don't want the yellow color and just want to protect the lens.

Either case, like OLT it is a luv it or hate it affair. I do notice a lot more people turn their heads to look now... its got a bit of that... the fog lights are always on type of a deal... but that is not always optimal as sometimes I prefer the clear look too...

Hmm...where can I buy such a thing, online vendors i suppose? I won't buy them right away, I still have yet to do the cornering light turned fog light mod, and since I'm not too good with the electrical know-how, I'm still figuring out a way to try and do this mod without paying money other than the supplies necessary to do it, LOL. (*hint hint* to any NY SC guys that wanna help )
