Default Faux Fog's - To do or Not to do? 92-94 Light Mod

Basically. Im not getting a 97+ bumper soon... and unless someone is magically selling a 3k3 95-96 dirt cheap, I am stuck with the lame cornering lights.

Would you think yellowish clear light covering over the 92-94 bumper lights with them on with the headlights look nice on my car? I think it would go with the JDM tight look, minus the fact that they are fake foglights... Or is it too clean to do yellow tint over it?
Input?



Le Car.

looks very clean as is IMHO, but if you really feel that you need a little something in the front you shouldn't hesitate and just go for it.

it is YOUR car

I was thinking about doing the same thing the other night when we pulled my bumper. lol.

Just put that yellow film over the lights, wire them and stick some bulbs in there.

Fogs would be great to have, but I can do without...

Damn it as much as I love yellow fogs, I love that shot of your car even more. So clean and tasteful.

ehh..i think it looks okay..i was actually thinking of doing that to my car as well..but i decided not to. you could always try it out to see how you like it with the yellow film..and if you dont like it..you can always just remove it

My choice between pee-yellow or clear was a hard one but I think clear wins, just slightly-not. Those look like foglights already. You could look at it this way: You have the rare cornering lights "option"...limited edition..

It actually doesn't look too bad, your car could pull it off, but I still say no to it.

I think it will kill the "all clear lens" look in your car...I suggest just put some yellow bulbs in it & wire it together with your city lights or headlights.

My "fogs" are ON in my sig....just for reference, since we have the same body color

i'd leave them clear man, i have a 92 front on my 95 and they lights are wired as fogs.. i just threw in some yellow led 1157 bulbs and get sorta the look, they just don't put any actual light out of course.
