Hey guys, just curious, how do i tint the lenses on my fogs? Im getting new headlights so i want to tint the lenses on my bottom fogs yellow and the middle lights blue. How would i go about tinting the glass?

 

Take the fogs out and tint-away.!!

 

I used LAmin-x film. Very easy to apply. heres an example of my current fog lights...

 

My fogs are tinted yellow

 

how did you tint them yellow like that ? im looking to get yellow light out of my fogs but i cant find any bulbs that would give me the output of yellow im looking for .

 

you need HIDs in your fogs.

 

Yellow tint or 3000K HID's or both.

 

The light output is alright.

 

what can i use to tint them like that ?

 

i sprayed my fogs yellow with some paint i got from a hobby shop..and i also put in luminics yellow bulbs looks really good!

 

Lamin-x.com

 

did you order the whole kit for maxima? http://lamin-x.com/ecommerce/os/cata...f14047bd176bcc

 

Na I measured the total area of my fog lens and bought a small sheet from the company. I didn't order a precut film that was vehicle specific, instead I ordered a rectangle sheet (cheaper) and cut it myself with an exact-o knife. My total expense was about $20 shipped. Heres the sheet I ordered...

thx for the great info =) im do the same just in yellow

 

i got a similar film on ebay. its pretty straight forward but kind of a pain because the film i used didnt conform to the curves in the fogs too well, but it came out good.

 

Thats just a No No.

 

Hair dryer will soften up the film and make it very pliable. Once warmed up, it will curve and adhere to almost anything you want.

 

I have also found from doing window tinting that a heat gun will work well if you have one handy/available.

 

yeah, i used the hair dryer for my tails and fogs too.Cuase those small wrinkles and air bubble was a pain.

 

did you guys apply those lamin-x on the outside of the fogs or inside?

 

They tint goes on the outside. It's essentially an overlay that just goes on top of the lense. You just want to make sure what your getting is a vinyl overlay so that you can heat it up to curve it around the edges.

 

They go on the outside. They are applied the same way window tint is.

 

Applied the same way, but window tint goes on the inside.

 

What would be more "Yellow-ie" Laminex film or 3000k hid's?

 

I have seen pictures of the 3000k hids, and I would say comparing them to my overlays, that the HIDS are brighter

 

Or if ya wanna go the cheaper route, you can pair up the yellow Lamin-x film with some yellow Lexus capsules for the fog light bulbs. Search....you'll find some info.

 

I say yellow-ie Laminex.I mean, it all depemnds on what your trying to reach. My sig pic isnt HID.Are you looking brighter than that.?

 

anyone ever thought of putting yellow laminex over the clear bumpers?

i dunno, just for a diff look lol...
i got bored:

 

Don't do it man....

 

Please tell me thats photoshopped.

 

yes it is lol

 

"Thats just a No No."

 

I've still got another sheet of the 7" by 8" I used on my fogs but I don't know what else I can use it for. I cut a small circle out of the sheet and applied it to my new watch face but I still got quite a bit left over. any ideas?

 

on a watch!?

 

PLEASE don't do that.

 

^^^ i know, i know, i was just playing around w/ photoshop.
i won't do it

 

You got it!!!

 

One of my fogs burned out. I was thinking of getting HIDs what do you guys think? Should I buy HIDs and just take the tint off? or should I just stick regular bulbs in there and keep the tint? OR! should I get yellow bulbs?

 

say what you want but i really like hiw it look.. I would deff do it if i have a 4th gen.

 

get h3 luminics yellow and stick em in.
