yellow tinted fog light lenses?

i've seen several photos of these.

personally, i think it looks sweet and i'm sure, based on my experience in the off-roading realm, may even provide some functional benefits.

are yellow lenses available as replacements or is this a garage project?

It's just a layer of yellow tinted film that goes over the fog lamps.

Stained glass paint, the fogs can also revert back to normal (mine actually are now).

That's what I want to do but I can't find any

It's driving me nuts.

Can anyone who did this maybe find a brand they used, a picture would be prime.

My 3k hids do look yellow but you can still see a bright white hot spot so hopefully the vinyl will take care of that!
